The bushings in the gimbal housing support the drive shaft and allow the sterndrive to pivot through its full range of steering and trim motion. When these bushings wear, you’ll notice increased play in the drive, vibration, or uneven steering feel — replacing them restores the tight, controlled movement the system was designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a direct OEM replacement kit containing the bushings required for the gimbal housing assembly on compatible MerCruiser Alpha and Bravo sterndrive systems. Using OEM-spec components ensures correct fit, material hardness, and service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 805041A2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Mercury MerCruiser specification — direct fit replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper drive shaft support and steering pivot function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses play, vibration, and steering looseness caused by worn bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Alpha One and Bravo sterndrive gimbal housing assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest Use Case\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace these bushings whenever inspection reveals wear, excessive play in the sterndrive, or vibration that cannot be attributed to the propeller or drive shaft. Bushing replacement is typically performed during a full transom service or gimbal housing rebuild. Always inspect the gimbal bearing, bellows, and transom seal at the same time — if the bushings are worn, the surrounding components have likely seen similar service hours and should be evaluated for replacement together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBushing kits are a high-value repair item — customers replacing these are typically doing a full gimbal housing or transom service, which means strong attachment rate potential for related parts. Always ask whether they’re also replacing the gimbal bearing and transom seal.
