  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.

Love this set!!!
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1
I was trying to figure out which of the many different balls this company offers, and I was getting frustrated but then i was SOOOO happy to see they had multiple sets that had multiple of the different balls they offer!! I bought this set and the other set they offer, but this one was my favorite and I think my dogs too! The orange ball works great and bounces just high enough that it doesn’t clear our patio wall, but enough for him to go and jump up to retrieve. But the glow in the dark ball is his favorite! Both me and my pomsky were blown away how we brought the glow in the dark ball outside just as the sun was going down, and when we brought it back inside it was BRIGHT AND GLOWY!!! Even with the sun going down and not much light left!! He loves to play with it in the house after it’s all glowy from the sun. Sometimes we even glow it up under a light inside the house if it’s dark outside, and he will play with it outside in the dark haha he loves it!!! And I think it’s pretty cool too!! All of the balls this company overs are VERY durable! We realized early on that we cannot give our dog regular tennis balls cuz his favorite thing to do is tear the outside fabric off!! So we were trying to figure out what company has the best balls for dogs so they can’t sit there and try to pry them apart, and we found this company!! We have already bought from them about 3 times and all of their balls are durable and bounce how they say they will bounce!! They have the super bouncers and the glow in the dark one and the one with angles that will bounce in different directions and the ones you can throw REALLYY far! Overall, all the balls from this company are very durable, bounce really good, and keep my dog occupied without allowing him to sit there and tear it apart!!! Which i love cuz I do not like when he stops playing with us to sit there and try to take off the fabric, cuz then he could swallow it! So always buy the balls from this company!!! They are the best and most durable!!!! Also plenty soft for your dogs mouth so they can chew on it a bit and it won’t hurt their teeth/gums!

Good sturdy balls
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 2
My dogs love balls! Unfortunately, they tend to chew them up very quickly. My Belgium Malinois chews on this all the time, and it has held up pretty well. Good option for chewers
