Product Overview
This gimbal bearing is designed as a replacement stern drive bearing for compatible MerCruiser, OMC, and Volvo Penta stern drive applications using OEM part number 3853807.
The gimbal bearing supports the drive shaft alignment between the engine and stern drive, helping reduce vibration, wear, and drivetrain noise during operation. A worn or damaged gimbal bearing may cause grinding noise, rough rotation, vibration, or poor stern drive performance.
Constructed from bearing-grade steel with precision-ground surfaces, this replacement bearing is built to maintain proper alignment and support long service life under continuous marine use.
Please compare the OEM part number, outer diameter, inner diameter, thickness, mounting hole size, and product photos with your original bearing before ordering.

Fitment FAQ
Will this part fit my specific model and year?
This gimbal bearing may fit compatible MerCruiser, OMC, and Volvo Penta stern drive applications using OEM part number 3853807. Fitment depends on the original part number, bearing dimensions, stern drive design, and housing size rather than model year alone.
Do I need to match the OEM part number?
Yes. For a gimbal bearing, matching the OEM part number is strongly recommended. Please confirm your original bearing matches OEM 3853807 before ordering.
What models or situations does this part not fit?
This bearing may not fit stern drives using a different bearing size, different housing design, different mounting structure, or a different OEM part number. It is not recommended for outboard engines or unrelated marine pump applications.
What should I check before ordering?
Before ordering, check your stern drive brand, original part number, outer diameter, inner diameter, thickness, mounting hole size, housing condition, and product photos. Make sure your original bearing matches the 88mm outer diameter, 35mm inner diameter, and 26mm thickness.
