OMC used several U-joint shaft and drive configurations across the Cobra product line. Do not select this bearing by engine displacement or model year alone.
Verify your complete OMC model number and confirm that the application calls for 0778117, 0983877, 983877, 18-1172, 21542 or 878999.
What This Bearing is Used For
The U-joint shaft assembly transfers rotational power through the sterndrive driveline. Bearings in this assembly support the rotating shaft and help maintain proper alignment while the drivetrain is operating.
A worn or damaged bearing can allow excessive movement, noise or roughness in the U-joint shaft assembly. Because this area operates under significant load, bearing condition should be checked whenever the drive is removed or the U-joint shaft assembly is being serviced.
Common Signs of U-Joint Shaft Bearing Wear
- Grinding or rumbling noise from the drive area
- Roughness when rotating the shaft by hand
- Excessive bearing play
- Vibration from the driveline
- Visible corrosion on the bearing
- Water intrusion into the U-joint / bellows area
- Bearing damage found during drive service
- Abnormal wear on related shaft components
Why Inspect the U-Joint Area During Drive Service?
The U-joint area is normally accessible when the sterndrive is removed. This makes routine drive service a good opportunity to inspect the U-joints, shaft bearings, bellows, seals and related driveline components.
Water intrusion or a damaged bellows can quickly contaminate bearings and other components. Any roughness, corrosion or excessive play should be investigated before the drive is returned to service.
