Bravo 3 lube screw gasket/washer

Liberty44140

Planning to change my lower unit lube this weekend. Got the Quicksilver High Performance Lube. I've done LU changes on large outboards but not a B3 yet. Question - any idea which gasket/washer to buy for the drain and vent screws? Looks like the newest Bravo 3's use one that is a harder plastic and is yellow or neutral in color where older use a black, blue or burnt orange. I do not have my LU's serial number. Any idea what color they were in the 2005 - 2006 arena? Thanks!

I replaced mine 2002 bravo III with a blue gasket.  It's the only one my boat yard had.  I read a post on iboats I that seemed to say merc updated the blue gasket, but I can't find the post now.

I've used both with good luck.  Lately I've been using the yellow.  I tend to change my gasket at least every other year in fall when I change the gear lube.

Ordered - heads up, West Marine has a great price on these. $12 for a 5 pack of the Sierra.

I've used the blue one with no issues. Sounds like either works though.

The Sierra blue, which was the direct offset for the merc yellow for the newest bravo 3 serial numbers, worked perfectly. Thanks!
