- Ensure the engine is off and the battery is disconnected before starting work.
- Remove the propeller, thrust washer, and any related hardware from the propeller shaft.
- Drain the gearcase lubricant completely.
- Disassemble the sterndrive's lower unit to access the propeller shaft and bearing carrier assembly.
- Carefully extract the old bearing carrier. This may require a specialized puller tool.
- Thoroughly clean the housing interior and inspect for any damage or wear.
- Install new seals and bearings into the new carrier if they are not pre-installed.
- Press the new bearing carrier assembly into the gearcase, ensuring it is properly aligned and fully seated.
- Reassemble all components in the reverse order of disassembly.
- Refill the gearcase with the manufacturer-recommended lubricant to the correct level.
- Before launching, test for smooth rotation and check for leaks.
- Always consult your official service manual for your specific drive model for detailed procedures, torque values, and safety warnings.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this bearing carrier will fit my engine?
This carrier is designed for OMC Cobra drives (1986–1990) and OMC Stringer drives (1978–1985, excluding 2.5L & 3.0L models) using a 13/16 inch diameter prop shaft. It also fits various 1990 Johnson/Evinrude outboards. The best way to ensure fitment is to match your original part's number to one of the cross-reference numbers (e.g., OMC 5000074) and compare it visually with the product photos.
What are the symptoms of a bad bearing carrier?
Signs of a failing bearing carrier include a rumbling, grinding, or whining noise from the sterndrive, excessive vibration felt through the boat, or an oil leak from the propeller shaft seals. A visual inspection may also reveal corrosion or cracks in the carrier housing.
Does this part include new seals or O-rings?
This is the bearing carrier housing only. Associated seals, bearings, and O-rings are typically sold separately. Please check the "What's in the Box" section for a list of all included components.
Can I replace a bearing carrier myself?
Replacing a bearing carrier is an advanced repair that often requires specialized tools like a bearing puller and press. While possible for an experienced DIY mechanic, professional installation is highly recommended to prevent damage to the gearcase and ensure proper sealing and alignment.
How often should a bearing carrier be replaced?
A bearing carrier does not have a set replacement interval. It should be inspected for corrosion, cracks, or damage whenever the gearcase is serviced, and replaced if any signs of failure are present. The seals within the carrier should be replaced more frequently to prevent water intrusion.
