Marine Gimbal Bearing by Sierra International - Model 18-2100 Review

Perfect fit for my 86 Larson with Alpha One Gen 1. Appears to be a quality product. So far I'm very happy with the Sierra parts.

Uses this on my Alpha 1 Gen 2 Outdrive. I would recommend taking the one that doesn't have an oiler, that way there's one less job every year.

Looks and performs the same as the Volvo OEM brand. Perfect fit for my DP-SM Volvo Penta Outdrive. Very happy with the results. would recommend. Tip: put it in the freezer before installing it and get the Volvo Bearing Installer.

I BOUGHT THIS SPARE PART BECAUSE IT FIT THE CROSS WE NEEDED KAN STOCK. PAID FOR A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION AND THIS ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVE SHAFT HALF. WE MAY HAVE BAD BUT WE STILL NEED A STOCK THAT WORKS.

This gimbal fits perfectly in my 1998 VP Cobra-SX Outdrive. Looks good, price was right, but every now and then I hear a little noise that leads me to believe it's not fully lubricated, even though I poured a ton of lube in it and put it in perfectly to make sure the lube hole lines up with the hole. camp is perfect. Maybe new enough./shrugs.

I bought this gimbal for my 1998 Crownline Alpha One front wheel drive. The bearing is as described and fits perfectly. No more noise from the drive as I had hoped. Sierra products are a great alternative to Mercruiser/Quicksilver. Nothing beats OEM, but I have great confidence in the Sierra brand.

My boat mechanic installed this part number a few years ago and it was the greased version - hole in the side and all. This time I replaced my own gimbal and this new one was sealed. There was a hole on the side of the bearing and I lined it up with the oil hole on the output gear just because I have OCD like that. in any case, the new one is sealed and not lubricated. not that I would be against it. It might work in my favor if water gets in there.
