Engineered Marine Products Gimbal Bearing 30-00803, Volvo Penta Stern Drive, Ball Bearing

The Engineered Marine Products Gimbal Bearing, part number 30-00803, is a ball-type gimbal bearing built to OEM specification for Volvo Penta stern drive applications. The gimbal bearing sits in the gimbal housing and supports the drive shaft coupling between the engine and the outdrive, transmitting engine rotation to the lower unit while allowing the drive to steer and tilt. A worn or failed gimbal bearing is a common source of drive-shaft vibration, coupler wear, and steering play, so replacing it with a properly rated bearing is important to protect the rest of the drivetrain.

This unit is constructed from metal components and uses a ball bearing design rated to OEM specification, and it is lubricated with marine bearing grease. It measures 4 x 1.62 x 4 inches, matching the compact footprint required to fit inside the gimbal housing bore. Engineered Marine Products has manufactured OEM-standard marine drivetrain components for over 40 years, engineering and sourcing parts to deliver reliable, competitively priced replacements for both OEM and aftermarket channels. The package includes the gimbal bearing itself, ready to install in place of a worn or damaged unit, and it carries a 1 year warranty.
