Used gimbal installation

[Galvez83]

Hey folks i have a question regarding a used gimbal housing that i bought to replace my broken one. Both are Bravo gimbals. The new (used) unit has 2 square holes on the bottom where the one on the boat does not have that option. The question being, are both the same gimbals

This purely my opinion - I wouldn't re-use a used gimbal.

If you want us to offer advice, it would help to do what you're working on, again my opinion.

Good question, Bondo. I may have wrongly assumed the bearing.

... used gimbal housing ...

Just the gimbal housing not the bearing or bell housing. The gimbal is cracked where it meets the transom. So i had to go out and get a used one.
