Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this bearing fits my specific Yamaha model?
This bearing is designed for most 70–90 HP Yamaha outboards from 1985–2008 and the FT50G model. Always confirm that your engine's required OEM part number matches 93332-000U3-00 by checking your service manual or original part.
What are the signs of a failing drive shaft bearing?
Common symptoms include a grinding, whining, or rumbling noise from the lower unit that changes with engine RPM. You may also feel excessive vibration or discover metal shavings in the gear lube during a change.
How often should this bearing be replaced?
There is no fixed replacement interval. This bearing should be inspected during any routine lower unit service (e.g., water pump replacement) and replaced if you find any signs of pitting, corrosion, noise, or excessive play.
Is this an upper or lower drive shaft bearing?
This part is used in different positions depending on the engine model. It is listed as an "Upper Drive Shaft Bearing" for 70-90 HP models and simply a "Drive Shaft Bearing" for the FT50G. Consult your specific engine's parts diagram to confirm its location.
