Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the boat's battery. Place the stern drive in the full "trailer" trim position to access the components.
  2. Remove Stern Drive: Unbolt and carefully remove the entire stern drive assembly from the gimbal housing to expose the transom assembly.
  3. Remove Old Bellows: Using a utility knife, carefully cut the old drive, exhaust, and shift cable bellows. Remove the old clamps and bellows material.
  4. Extract Gimbal Bearing: Use a slide hammer with a bearing puller attachment to extract the old gimbal bearing from the housing.
  5. Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean the gimbal housing and transom assembly, removing any old sealant, gasket material, or debris.
  6. Install New Bearing: Align and install the new gimbal bearing using a bearing installation tool. Ensure it is fully seated and the grease hole is correctly aligned if applicable.
  7. Install Bellows: Install the new shift cable, drive shaft, and exhaust bellows. Apply a suitable marine adhesive sealant to the mounting flanges.
  8. Secure Clamps: Secure all three bellows with the provided clamps, ensuring they are tight enough to create a waterproof seal.
  9. Replace Seals & Gaskets: Install the new gaskets and seals on the bell housing before reinstalling the drive.
  10. Reinstall Drive: Carefully reinstall the stern drive assembly, ensuring correct alignment of the drive shaft and shift cable. Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
  11. Final Checks: Reconnect the battery. Test the trim and steering functions. Finally, check for any water leaks around the transom assembly after launching the boat.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this fits my engine?
This kit is designed specifically for MerCruiser Alpha One Gen 2 stern drives from 1991 and newer with a serial number of 0D469859 or higher. The most reliable method is to cross-reference your existing part numbers with those listed in our cross-reference table.

What are the signs my transom seal kit needs replacing?
Common signs of failure include visible cracks, tears, or dry rot in the rubber bellows. Other indicators are water entering your bilge, a grinding or rumbling noise from the gimbal bearing (especially when turning), or difficulty shifting, which could point to a worn shift cable bellows.

What is the difference between kits with greasable and non-greasable gimbal bearings?
This kit includes a greasable gimbal bearing (similar to Sierra 18-8206-1). This design allows for periodic lubrication via a zerk fitting, which can extend the bearing's service life compared to permanently sealed bearings.

I'll stick to Rain Design
Color: Space Gray, Size: mStand, Style: mStand
There are a lot of laptop stands out there and call me a loyalist since I bought my first Rain mStand over 10 years ago but I came back to Rain for my second one after giving the original one to my kid for college. I purchased the Space Gray version to match my current Macbook Pro color. It's still a handsome, well-crafted non-nonsense design. It's great that Rain didn't change the design much from the original one I had. It works well with padding in just the right places, and it's timeless design is a complement to any room decor. Go with Rain.
