SERDAMARINE / MARINE EXHAUST PARTS
Rear-Riser Open Exhaust Manifold-to-Elbow Gasket
This rear-riser open gasket services the exhaust manifold-to-elbow or adaptor joint on applicable MerCruiser 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder, and V8 engines, including 120, 140, 2.5L, 3.0L, and 3.0LX series applications. It corresponds to primary OEM reference 27-99777-2 and is distinct from the closed-cooling gasket configuration referenced as MerCruiser 27-92720 / GLM 32630.
Engine Applications
Engine model alone is not sufficient to distinguish between open and closed-cooling gasket versions; match your engine model, production year, and existing rear-riser open-gasket configuration at the exhaust manifold-to-elbow or adaptor joint before ordering.

Service & Installation Notes
General service guidance only. Use the service manual for your exact engine and exhaust configuration.
- Ensure the engine is shut off, completely cool, and secured against accidental starting before servicing any exhaust joint.
- Support the exhaust elbow or adaptor during disassembly to prevent strain on connected exhaust hoses or mounting hardware.
- Clean the mating surfaces on both the exhaust manifold and the elbow or adaptor thoroughly, taking care not to gouge or damage the sealing faces.
- Compare the port openings of the new rear-riser open gasket directly against the joint passages to verify that it matches the required open-gasket configuration; never substitute an open gasket where a closed-cooling gasket is specified.
- Reassemble the joint and tighten fasteners according to the sequence and specifications in your engine service manual, then inspect the joint during initial operation and stop the engine immediately if any exhaust or water leak is detected.
The Serdamarine Approach
Exhaust parts need a configuration match. Serdamarine focuses on marine exhaust manifolds and their related service parts. Application details, connection requirements and public reference numbers are presented together to support part selection.
Questions Before Replacement
How do I distinguish this gasket from the closed-cooling version?
This part is the rear-riser open gasket for the exhaust manifold-to-elbow or adaptor joint, identified by references such as MerCruiser 27-99777-2, 27-99777Q02, and GLM 31520. The closed-cooling alternative uses a different design and is referenced under MerCruiser 27-92720 or GLM 32630.
Does this gasket fit all MerCruiser 120hp inline 4-cylinder engines?
No. For 1968–1982 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder applications, the 120hp model is specifically excluded. However, it is listed for Model 120 / 140 inline 4-cylinder (153 / 181 CID) engines from 1982–1995 when equipped with the rear-riser open-gasket configuration.
