Is the SX-A Gimbal bearing Kit compatible with the SX-M? I can't seem to find a Gimbal bearing kit for the SX-M. Anyone know the part number for a Gimbal Bearing Kit for the Penta SX-M?

I just replaced mine on my SX-M 1.97
Gimble Bearing for this is Sierra 18-2100, It is the greasable bearing. http://www.iboats.com/Volvo-Penta-G...2778931--session_id.977235562--view_id.269488

I also ordered and replaced the Seal that is in front of the gimble bearing, but it is a MOFO to get out just to let you know.

Ordered all parts here on iboats.com very fast shipping.

Replace bellows with OEM Volvo Part # 3841481- I have heard to use the OEM Bellows versus the aftermarket ones, just what I've heard?

Also replace the oblong water intake seal 3852560 when you pull off your drive.

Drive shaft Orings 2 ea-Volvo Part# 3852565 or Sierra Part #18-7153

You will need a 3 jaw puller to get the bearing out and an Alignment tool as well to make sure you line up the engine with the Gimble bearing once installed. If you search in the Sticky's in the Volvo penta area it shows you the specs for both tools.
