Installation Guide

  1. Ensure the boat is secure and the battery is disconnected. Place the sterndrive in the full trim-down position.
  2. Remove the rear cover and disconnect the speedometer hose (if equipped).
  3. Remove the six nuts that secure the sterndrive to the bell housing. Be prepared to support the drive's weight.
  4. Carefully slide the sterndrive off the bell housing, ensuring the shift shaft doesn't bind.
  5. Remove the old gasket, O-rings, and oil seal from the bell housing and drive shaft passage.
  6. Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces, removing any old adhesive or debris.
  7. Install the new gasket and seals from the kit. Lightly grease the O-rings and shaft splines.
  8. Carefully align and reinstall the sterndrive, ensuring the drive shaft, water tube, and shift shaft align correctly.
  9. Tighten the six nuts to the manufacturer's specified torque sequence and value.
  10. Reconnect the speedometer hose and install the rear cover. Test for proper operation on the water.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this fits my MerCruiser Bravo drive?

This kit is designed for all MerCruiser Bravo models (I, II, III, X, XR, etc.). To be certain, cross-reference your existing part number with the numbers listed in our Part Number Cross-Reference table, such as MerCruiser 16755Q1.

What are the signs that my bell housing gasket needs replacement?

Common signs include water leaking into the bilge from the transom assembly, water in the gear lube, or visible corrosion around the mating surfaces. A worn seal may be discovered during routine sterndrive removal and inspection.

Is this kit all I need to reinstall my bell housing?

This kit provides all the essential seals and O-rings for the bell housing installation. You will need standard mechanic's tools and potentially a gimbal bearing alignment tool to ensure proper driveshaft alignment upon reinstallation.
