Installation Notes
- Disconnect the battery and safely drain the gearcase oil into a suitable container.
- Remove the propeller, followed by the lower unit (gearcase) from the outboard's driveshaft housing.
- Disassemble the gearcase as required to access the main driveshaft and the old bearing housing assembly.
- Carefully extract the old bearing housing and seal. Clean away any old gasket material, sealant, or corrosion from the mounting surfaces.
- Lubricate the new seal and seating area with marine grease. Press the new bearing housing assembly into place, ensuring it is correctly aligned and fully seated.
- Reassemble the internal gearcase components in the reverse order of disassembly.
- Reinstall the lower unit, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube are properly aligned.
- Refill the gearcase with the manufacturer-specified marine gear lubricant to the correct level.
- Reinstall the propeller and associated hardware, torquing the nut to spec. Reconnect the battery.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this housing fits my specific Bombardier, Johnson, or Evinrude engine?
This part fits a wide range of 40-75 HP Loopcharged engines. The best way to confirm is to check your model and year against the compatibility table provided on this page. If your model is listed, it's a match. You can also verify by matching your existing part number to 385087.
What are the signs of a failing driveshaft bearing housing?
Common symptoms include a grinding or rumbling noise from the lower unit (especially when in gear), excessive vibration, or finding metal shavings in the gear oil during a change. A visible water leak from the driveshaft area is another sign that the internal seal has failed.
Is it necessary to replace the entire assembly if only the seal is leaking?
While sometimes only the seal fails, it is best practice to replace the entire housing and seal assembly. The bearing can suffer from unseen wear or corrosion, and replacing the integrated unit ensures a proper fit, alignment, and long-term reliability.
Are any special tools required for installation?
Installation requires standard mechanic's tools, a socket set, a torque wrench, and potentially a bearing puller and press for removing the old housing and seating the new one. Access to a service manual for your specific engine model is highly recommended for detailed procedures and torque specs.
What is the difference between this aftermarket part and an OEM one?
This is an aftermarket replacement part, not an original OEM component. It is engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function, using comparable materials. It offers a cost-effective solution without sacrificing performance or durability.
How often should this bearing and seal be inspected?
It should be inspected whenever the gearcase oil is changed (typically every 100 hours or at least once a year). Check the old oil for a milky appearance (indicating water intrusion) or metallic particles (indicating bearing or gear wear).
How are OEM vs. Aftermarket parts different?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
What are your shipping speed & cost?
We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options appear at checkout where available.
What is the warranty & return policy?
Covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If issues arise, contact support with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard window (unused & in original condition). See our policy page or reach out for instructions.
