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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered Marine Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30-00803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 1.62 x 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ball Bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Met:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Lubricant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gimbal Bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.183 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840080434018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Engineered Marine Products 30-00803 gimbal bearing fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 30-00803 gimbal bearing is designed for Volvo Penta stern drive applications, seating in the gimbal housing to support the drive shaft coupling between the engine and the outdrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 30-00803 gimbal bearing built to OEM specification?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Engineered Marine Products 30-00803 gimbal bearing is manufactured to meet OEM specification, using a ball bearing design in place of the original unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this gimbal bearing?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 30-00803 gimbal bearing measures 4 x 1.62 x 4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 30-00803 gimbal bearing weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 1.183 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Engineered Marine Products gimbal bearing made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 30-00803 gimbal bearing is made from metal components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of bearing is used in part number 30-00803?\u003c\/strong\u003e A ball bearing is used, which is the standard design for Volvo Penta-style gimbal bearings in this application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat lubricant should be used with this gimbal bearing?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 30-00803 gimbal bearing is designed to be lubricated with marine bearing grease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the 30-00803?\u003c\/strong\u003e The order includes one gimbal bearing, ready to install into the gimbal housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 30-00803 gimbal bearing come with a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Engineered Marine Products backs the 30-00803 gimbal bearing with a 1 year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat symptoms indicate a gimbal bearing needs replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e Drive-shaft vibration, coupler wear, and steering play can indicate a worn gimbal bearing; replacing it with the 30-00803 restores proper support for the drive shaft coupling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho manufactures part number 30-00803?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is manufactured by Engineered Marine Products, a company that has produced OEM-standard marine drivetrain components for over 40 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991285018843,"sku":"EMP-30-00803","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/EMP-30-00803-MerCruiser-Volvo_Gimbal-Bearing__21316.1722363374.500.750.jpg?v=1785188672","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gimbal-bearing-for-volvo-penta-blackhawk-sterndrive-1994-1995-cross-reference-18-21001-grease-lubricated-ball-bearing","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
