Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
Compatible equipment / model
- MerCruiser Alpha One Gen 1 or Gen 2 — tool dimensions must match
- MerCruiser Bravo I / II / III — tool dimensions must match
- OMC Cobra — verify gimbal bearing dimensions
- Volvo Penta — verify specific drive/transom, not assumed universal
We do our best to list all compatible models. Model year alone does not guarantee fit; check the bearing outside diameter and the appropriate alignment-tool design for your exact transom and drive unit. Do not assume the same tool fits every OMC or Volvo Penta drive.
Product Overview
A gimbal bearing supports the drive shaft through the boat’s transom assembly; service tools help remove the worn bearing and align replacement components.
Bearing replacement is often required when there is roughness, vibration or water intrusion at the gimbal assembly. Correct alignment during reassembly reduces the risk of driveline damage.
Check the bearing outside diameter and the appropriate alignment-tool design for your exact transom and drive unit. Do not assume the same tool fits every OMC or Volvo Penta drive.
