Alpha one Gen 1 Pre Alpha Transom Repair W Bellows Glue HD Bearing Universal Kit

Free Shipping in the US!!

This kit comes with a heavy duty sierra bearing 18-21005 used in all newer model Mercruiser Gimbal’s. The HD bearing works fin in older models and can take the rougher treatment or higher RPM’s.

The HD bearings are $70 by themselves so I am substituting the standard bearing with this HD bearing and it is only $35 more. This auction starts with the low price of $135.00.

You only get 1 bearing, the heavy duty bearing with this kit. I keep the standard bearing.

Alpha one Gen 1 Pre Alpha Transom Repair W Bellows Glue HD Bearing Universal Kit

In my E-bay Store you will find the other individual Bellows listings for all the Mercruiser drive configurations including Alpha One Generation Two & Bravo! So you don’t have to wait for this auction to end you can just go into my eBay store and find the correct bellows set for you!

 

I have had a lot of questions on the brand name of these bellows sets. These are a mixture of various brand names. I cannot list the brand names because E-bay considers it brand name spamming and automatically removes the listings. I buy these from multiple suppliers in bulk to make up the sets. This is where I protect you the consumer. I have noticed no matter what sets I would buy there would be one thing I would not like about them. For instance stainless steel bellows clamps would be made out of 640 stainless steel and they would rust and break. Or the shift cable bellows’ rubber would be too thin walled. Or the drive shaft bellows would either be too thick or too thin or allow it to stretch out of proportion or prematurely crack.

This is a word to the wise; Shift cables should also be changed every 5 years while you have the drive off the boat doing the bellows. Remember you may think the shift cable is good and working properly but the cables wear on the inside where you can’t see it. And if you don’t change the shift cable with the shift cable bellows you will have the extra labor of doing the shift cable before the change of the second set of bellows because the cable will not last the 10 years. New Shift cables are $65 including shipping and it is not worth the labor of replacing it separately.

 

Oh here is  a tip; Never store your boat with outdrive in up position as it stretches out the bellows and allows the hydraulic ram seals to dry and freeze up so they wont close.

It is easier to find items in my store if you click sellers ebay store and then to the left click the category that you need. Alpha One Generation One, Alpha One Generation Two, Bravo, Type 1, Type 2, pre Alpha or TRS! Or because ebay has ranked me so highly you can just search the web for my products or my ebay store name mikesalphas to find everything I offer on ebay. Ebay keeps making it easier!

If your boat has a tendency to keep blowing out bearings you should consider installing a heavy duty gimbal bearing instead of this standard bearing. They are an extra $35.00 and can be well worth it. Just message me after purchase and tell me you want the HD bearing and I will send you an invoice with the extra $35.00 added to it. It fits just fine on the older type 1, pre alpha and Alpha One Generation One's. I also have the HD bearings listed in another auction with this universal set!

If you are not sure if you have a gen 1 or gen 2 look at the way your hydraulic rams attach to there shafts on the drive or gimbal ring, gen 1's attach with nuts, washers and black rubbers and gen 2 uses E clips and white plastic inserts.

I removed the overnight express mail service option because USPS only guarantees anything to be delivered in 3 days. The last 10 packages I have either shipped out or had shipped here took the same amount of time as priority mail 2/3 days!
