Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this part fits my Yamaha outboard?

The most reliable method is to match the part number from your existing bearing carrier to one of the numbers listed in our Part Number Matrix. Additionally, verify your engine model and year are included in the Engine & Model Compatibility chart.

What are the signs of a failing bearing carrier?

Common symptoms include grinding or rumbling noises from the gearcase, excessive vibration during operation, water intrusion into the gear oil (milky appearance), or visible cracks and corrosion on the carrier housing itself.

Does this carrier include seals or bearings?

This listing is for the bearing carrier housing only. Seals, O-rings, and bearings must be sourced separately. It is critical to replace all seals and O-rings during installation to prevent water intrusion.

Is this a standard or counter-rotation part?

This is a standard rotation bearing carrier. If you require a counter-rotation part, please verify the specific part number needed for your application as this component will not work.

Is this an OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It has been engineered to meet or exceed OEM-level specifications using comparable materials. Our parts are manufactured in an ISO 9002 certified facility and are batch-inspected for quality and consistency.

What are the shipping costs and delivery times?

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit time is 5–15 days for most regions. Standard shipping is free; expedited options are displayed at checkout where available for your location.

What is the warranty and return policy?

This part is covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal marine use. If you encounter an issue, please contact our support team with your order details. Unused items in their original condition can be returned within our standard window; please see our policy page or reach out for instructions.
