Installation Guide

  1. Preparation: Start by tilting the stern drive to the full "up" position and securing it. Disconnect the boat's battery.
  2. Remove Drive: Detach the stern drive assembly from the bell housing according to your service manual's instructions.
  3. Remove Old Components: Carefully remove the old U-joint, exhaust, and shift bellows. Inspect for and remove any old sealant or adhesive residue.
  4. Extract Gimbal Bearing: Use a slide hammer and bearing puller attachment to remove the old gimbal bearing from the transom assembly.
  5. Install New Bearing: Align and install the new gimbal bearing using a proper bearing driver tool. Ensure it is seated correctly and the oil hole is aligned.
  6. Install New Bellows: Install the new shift cable bellow first, followed by the U-joint and exhaust bellows. Secure all bellows with the provided clamps.
  7. Replace Seals: Replace the gimbal housing and oil seals included in the kit to ensure a watertight fit.
  8. Reassemble: Re-attach the stern drive to the bell housing, ensuring all connections are secure.
  9. Final Checks: Lower the drive and check for proper shift cable operation. Reconnect the battery and test run the engine, checking carefully for any water leaks around the transom.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?
A: This kit is designed for MerCruiser Bravo I, II, III, X, XR, and Four S models from 1998-present (serial numbers 0B664190 and up) and Blackhawk drives from 1994-1995 (serial numbers 0D469859 and up). Please verify your model and serial number range before ordering.

Q: What are the signs that my transom seal kit needs replacing?
A: Common indicators include visible cracks or dry rot on the bellows, water collecting inside the bellows, a grinding or roaring noise from the gimbal bearing (especially when turning), or stiffness in the steering and shifting mechanisms.

Q: How often should I replace my transom seals and bellows?
A: As a general maintenance guideline, bellows and seals should be inspected annually and typically replaced every 3-5 years, depending on usage (freshwater vs. saltwater) and storage conditions. The gimbal bearing should be replaced if it shows any signs of roughness or rust.

Nice chew toy
Color: Dogwood Mushroom, Size: Medium, Color: Dogwood Mushroom, Size: Medium
Super durable and puppy loves it. It was a bit hard for her at first but now at 5 months it’s one of her favorite things to gnaw on! It is heavy for the size but seems to be great quality and has given many hours of chew time with minimal wear.

Puppy loves these sticks!
Color: Dogwood & Calming, Size: Medium
Dogs love these sticks! Must smell and taste like real wood because it keeps my puppy from bringing real sticks in the house from outside. She is a heavy chewer and these sticks keep her occupied. We are on our 2nd set.

Our dog loves it but it wasn’t durable enough to last
Color: Dogwood Jack, Size: Large, Color: Dogwood Jack, Size: Large
Our lab took to it as soon as we gave it to her. Perfect size for our 80 lb yellow lab. However, now that it’s in about 10 days, she’s able to break off chunks from this bone that are dime size or larger, and we have to throw it away
