Good To Know

Q: Do I need to replace this gasket every time I remove the reed cage? A: Yes, a fresh reed valve gasket is recommended each time the cage is removed, since old gaskets compress and may not reseal properly. Reusing a worn gasket can cause air leaks that affect fueling and performance.

Q: How do I confirm this gasket fits my watercraft? A: Check that your model is a Polaris SLX PRO 785 from 1997 to 2000 and that your engine uses OEM part number 3084148. Verifying the part number against your service manual is the safest way to confirm fit.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
