gimble bearing

I have a DPS-B 1.95 drive and am having trouble finding the proper replacement gimble bearing in the iBoats web sight under shop. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the info, recieved the new bearing today and removed the old one.I have two questions.
1. The Volvo shop manual says on page 220 "Position the gimbal bearing with the ring slots facing in towards shield. When I removed the old bearing the slots were facing out. Which is the right way.
2. Should I replace the gimble bearing seal at this time. If so how does the old one get removed. How does the new one go in, do I need the "special tool". 3850038?

1. Slots should face the bow of the boat.
2. The seal doesn’t have much of a useful purpose with a sealed bearing. I wouldn’t recommend replacement.
