Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this bushing fits my specific outboard model?
First, check the Engine & Model Compatibility table on this page. If your model is listed, it is a confirmed fit. For models not listed, visually compare your old part to our product images and verify the OEM part number 6G1-45362-09-00 matches what is specified for your engine.
What are the signs of a failing drive shaft bushing?
Common symptoms include excessive vibration from the lower unit, grinding or rattling noises, difficulty shifting gears, or visible play in the drive shaft. A visual inspection during routine maintenance may also reveal wear, scoring, or deformation.
How often should this part be replaced?
There is no fixed replacement interval. This bushing should be inspected during any routine lower unit service (e.g., water pump replacement) or if you notice symptoms of failure. Replace it if it shows any signs of significant wear or damage.
Can a worn-out bushing cause other damage?
Yes. A failing bushing can lead to improper drive shaft alignment, which can cause accelerated wear on gears, bearings, and seals within the gearcase, potentially leading to a more costly repair.
