Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this thrust bearing fits my outboard?
This bearing fits specific Suzuki 9.9HP and 15HP 2-stroke models. Check the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table and compare your engine's model, year, and original part number to confirm fitment. Visually matching your old part is always recommended.
What are the signs of a failing thrust bearing?
Symptoms of a bad thrust bearing include grinding or humming noises from the gearcase, excessive vibration during operation, or difficulty shifting gears. A conclusive diagnosis is often made during a lower unit service by inspecting for pitting, scoring, or roughness when turning the bearing.
What is the difference between part 09263-20024 and 09263-20L04?
The part number 09263-20L04 is the official superseded (updated) version for 09263-20024. They are dimensionally and functionally identical. This aftermarket part is a direct replacement for both OEM versions.
Can I install this myself?
Installation requires disassembly of the outboard's lower unit and the use of a mechanical press to seat the bearing correctly. Due to the precision required, professional installation by a qualified marine mechanic is highly recommended to prevent damage and ensure safety.
How often should this bearing be replaced?
There is no fixed replacement interval. The bearing should be inspected for wear, damage, or roughness anytime the gearcase is serviced. Replace it if any signs of failure are present to prevent catastrophic gear damage.
