1977 Galaxy Mercruiser 140 Motor Info needed

[Roger1983]

I am new here. Just bought my first boat. Its a 1977 Galaxy tri hull with a Mercruiser 140 IO motor. I just replaced the coupler and found out when doing that I need to replace the Gimble Bearing too. I am having a bit of trouble finding the correct part though. Can anyone tell me the OEM part number and maby where to get a cheap Gimble repair kit with all the gaskets and bellows?

Ok guys. Can any one tell me anything about the model of the out drive? Alpha, Bravo, Gen1, Gen 2. I am not sure what it is.

Most likely with a 1977 140, it will be an MC-1 drive (also known (incorrectly) as a 'Pre-Alpha').
