Details:

The bell housing is the next part it fits into the gimbal ring with hinge pins left port and right starboard and swings up and down and you mount the out drive on the bell housings studs usually 6 tip there are 5 main model's most people have and they all use shift cables from engine out to the out drive. I may know an easier way.

By keeping the drives down when stored it also keeps the seals on the hydraulic rams in oil so they don't dry out and freeze in the up position. This is why I state not actual pictures. Tip explanation.

The difference is in the gear ratio in the top of the drive like in the older drives it would be for a v8 He really wanted to junk the boat but he couldn afford it. These look perfect.

These sensors are port trim limit Tl to stop the pump when the drive reaches its maximum height and the starboard side is trim position Twp and this goes to a gauge on the dash to show the position of the drive in the water.

Tip I am sure these will not be mounted to a new boat so making sure the plate is flush with the transom is a slight concern. Point is, take it apart and check it to be sure the boat is worth the money your putting in it.

85 to 1 ratio. For instance type 1or also called MC 1 were used from 1963 through 1975 and then the pre alphas started but if a manufacturer had extra type 1 they may have mounted the type 1in in 77.

These are in excellent condition. This is the main reason you should not spend over 200 for a used gimbal. From up everything has a forked steering arm inside the boat from the gimbal.

The old fiberglass and wood has a tendency to warp and bulge.

It may not break for a week, a month or a year. You can always call me the type 2, tr, trs and speed masters are totally different and the guidelines do not apply because they have transmissions built inside the boat and used mainly on big boats or house boats. Feel free to call me at my name is mike of course I won't sell you parts if they won't fit your boat.

I have all the parts in stock. There is no way of knowing they are good until you take them apart. It is not worth the chance you are taking by mounting a used complete gimbal.

I cannot stress the importance of this enough, do not over tighten those top 2 bolts. With just a plate sliding into place you can make sure that it fits flush. Tip Mercruiser has a bit of humor when naming parts a car truck has a bell housing on the back of the engine over the fly wheel but on a boat Mercruiser calls that part the fly wheel cover. And of course the mechanics are not the one driving the boat so it is not putting their life on the line.

These are still solid and usable and the threads are fine as well as the square shaft hole is still good. It is illegal for me to ship a paid for item as a and I will not lie for anyone and state a lower price.

I want to mention that there is times while I am processing these parts and I have them all cleaned and start painting that I will notice a hairline crack and then check it and see the crack goes all the way through. That is the main difference.

65 to 1 gear ratio. These are the normal damage area. Tips I guess the first tip I should give you is also a warning.

Tip other than using an alpha drive you can't use any alpha gimbal on a ford motor at all. Pre alphas can be the hardest to identify because it was a changeover period and a lot of different configurations.

In 76 Mercruiser went from 1 trim limit switch at the top of the ring to 2 switches called sensors, these sensors are on the sides of the rings and act as a grease seal.

When you take the item apart and find a bad crack, break or badly corroded part it is too late item is yours. I sell reconditioned kits and all parts are separated for your inspection. The type 2, trs all had transmissions inside the boat and did not use a coned shaped shift cable bellows. The newer drives the ratio has changed a little and don't quote me on this but the v8are now 1.

My father got me my first boat when I was 7 years old and trust me that was a long time ago.

Starting in 1976 all hinge pin grease fittings were moved to the gimbal rings and at some point Mercruiser stopped putting grease fittings on any of the parts.

The main differences in gimbals is in the year and model of the transom housing. Most of the time when you replace a gimbal it is because the steering is too loose and that is the main reason the gimbal was removed from the boat in the first place and why it is for sale.

And I have seen them come in here.

I will also have tips listed with hydraulic rams and pumps for the rams and pumps. The reason I say this is sometimes the gimbal almost falls apart and depending on corrosion you might end up breaking a bell, ring or the main housing just getting it apart. I don't post actual pictures as it takes too much time when posting so many. There are way too many things for me to post as a warning so I will sum it up buyer beware.

This is not a duplicate listing and I do not post any duplicate listings. May be I can help you save some money.

When a boat sits corrosion build up around the shaft between the metal surfaces steal to cast aluminum and it can feel tight but when used it loosens up and you can hardly control your boat. Also everything newer then 1983 uses a square part of the shaft that goes through the ring.

Will automatically remove listings that are duplicates or close to being the same so I can't list this or any sale close to being the same. It was in 1983 Mercruiser perfected the square to square steering shaft. Tip there is 3 main parts to a complete gimbal assembly and I will list them with explanation now.

Lola until the unit is taken apart there is no way of knowing what is good or what is bad, and as soon as you start to take it apart it is yours. Call am to 7 pm central time in the us.

Before 1976 the grease fittings were on the bell housings and starting in 76 the grease fittings were moved to the ring. But in 1981 pre alphas started use square to round spline steering shafts with square on the rings so the rings had 2 bolts but the plates and bells were still pre alpha.

Of course I put in 12 to 15 hours into each gimbal parts and paint. This is not true.

Free shipping with in the continental us. Pre alpha exhaust patterns were the same as type 1 either 1 hole with 3 bolts and 1 o ring or 3 holes with 5 bolt holes and 3 o rings 2 small 1 large but in 1982 the exhaust on pre alphas started with horse shoe shaped exhaust. In 1981 and 1982 these were installed.

Tip I don't know why people pay 200 to for these on without knowing they are good. Let face it people sell their junk on. People advertise the complete gimbal housings as like new, fresh water, bolt and go, nice and tight excellent condition. Lola tip and this is important.

I specialize in the older parts.

And everything after 1983 has a horse shoe shaped exhaust seal and square to square steering shaft. For instance the same housing is used on 4, 6 or 8 cylinder engines.

So you would not get the pictured item. The point I want to get across is that around 80 of the complete gimbal housings have a problem.

I wanted to mention how I got started in this business I was just trying to fix my boat about 10 years ago and I needed a gimbal ring for my foot cruddy cabin boat.

I do have this ring in another listing with a steering arm and shaft.

Never and I repeat never re tighten the 2 top bolts it can break the ring at high speed and it might not be right away, it is a ticking time bomb. I will explain this 1 step further. Tip what is so commonly called pre alpha 1976 to 1983 is a changeover period for Mercruiser.

In about 1982 the exhaust pattern changed from o rings to a horse shoe shaped o ring. When cars and trucks were made the fly wheel cover looked like a bell so they called it a bell housing.

For instance I had a customer take purchased gimbal housing to a mechanic for install and the mechanic dropped it and broke a bottom corner off the housing and the mechanic said it was like that when he got it. I do not sell used damaged assembled gimbals. Bellows, shift cables, trim sensors, seals, bushings and yes, bearings.

The next part of this listing was the price 700 for a pre alpha gimbal worth 75. I also have this ring listed as seconds not as pretty cheaper on. The reason the shaft should be removed and cleaned is by design the gimbal ring wears out rather than break.

You can check with Mercruiser tech support and they will tell you not to over tighten the ring and how dangerous it can be.

Boats are a hole in the water that you throw in. During this time Mercruiser changed and corrected steering and exhaust issues.

It may not break until you hit a certain wave the wrong way. With just a few pictures I can pretty much identify all makes and model's of Mercruiser. The main gimbal housing plate bolts to the rear of the boat outside and the part that allows it to turn left and right is called a gimbal ring and the gimbal ring attaches inside the gimbal plate top with steering shaft and bottom with a swivel pin cotter key.

They don't bother to clean or paint and they don't check for cracks or to see it threads are good. If you try and mount a completely assembled unit or even just the plate to an uneven surface when you tighten it down cast aluminum you stand a chance of cracking the plate. It is mainly according to the year of the boat but because some boat manufacturers had extra old stock when manufacturing the boats the years may overlap. I take them apart and clean refurbish.

During these times from 1963 to 1983 there was also type 2, trs tr. Cracks are hidden under algae.

Shipping prices should be posted outside us but if not, contact me for shipping quote. This is for 1 mint condition ring by itself.

There are some people on selling that are matching my price but they are not matching my quality. He was grief stricken and just wanted to get the parts to fix the boat to sell. Pre alphas started from 1976 to 1983 and type 1 or also called MC 1 were from 1963 to I can't remember if he bought a used housing with over tightened ring bolts or if he over tightened the bolts himself be he lost his 2 year old son.

The most common phrase is worked when it came off the boat or didn leak when removed from the boat. I can't cover damages caused by you or a third party. The difference is done in the top half of the out drive.

The explanation is as follows. Mercruiser has a good safe design with these rings they are designed to wear out slowly instead of break at high speed and killing people.

This prevents the bellows from prematurely over stretching, cracking tearing. There is a reason the gimbals are removed from a boat in the first place. This sale is for 1 gimbal ring I call these firsts or like new.

You can use this ring on a 1976 to 1982 gimbal if you also buy the square for ring to round spline for steering arm steering shaft. 6 there is oh so many incorrect used boat items listed on the net and if I had to guess I would say 40 to 50 improperly listed and about 10 of used boat items are deadly.

Without cleaning you can't check for cracks. Pre alphas started with 2 trim sensors on the ring in 1976 but no bolts though the top of the rings. It may not happen until you hit a big wave and it may not happen until you hit a wave just right but odds are it will happen and has happened. All the ratio means is the engine will turn 1 and times and the prop on the drive will only turn once.

But is getting better and better all the time. The customer knew it was not broken when he gave it to the mechanic but insisted I cover under warranted and his reason was he could not afford to buy gimbal housing. Out of them 13 were the wrong ones and were from different model's and 2 were the correct model.

And also if you don't disassemble what about leaks I have heard all the horror stories. My point is simple, with everything apart and passed a first, second and maybe a third inspection if you do buy a used gimbal. When you select the setting remanufactured it states that it has been fully disassembled and reassembled and this clearly was not done so it makes me wonder if may be the ring was over tightened or if something was hidden with the transom repair kit. When I started selling I basically swore an oath to myself to always be truthful about everything I sell because of the troubles I had just trying to get the gimbal ring I needed.

I sold over 500 gimbal rings last year and no complaints. On a boat it is called a fly wheel cover and the flywheel cover on a boat acts as rear motor mounts and connects to the inner transom plate.

For instance I received 4 complete gimbal housings in a week and out of the 4, 1 had a cracked bell, 1 had a bad ring and 3 of them had bad plates. And a 6 cylinder would have been a If I thought it was junk I would not sell it.

I buy complete gimbal housings on all the time. And in about 1981 the steering shaft changed from round spline for the arm and round spline for the ring to round spline for the arm and square for the ring.

I also have everything listed on to complete your install. 50 to 1 gear ration. But if you want quality this is it.

With these multiple listings I never post actual pictures and because I sell so many even if I sent you an actual picture odds are that ring would be sold before you get back to me. One of the correct model's pre alpha the gear type splines were worn so bad the steering arm flopped side to side and would not turn the ring at all and the other one someone tried to fix the worn splines by drilling a hole through the top of the ring into the steering shaft to make it tight and the screw fell out.

Yes item has to be as described but that is on a visual inspection from the outside.

Is forcing sellers to offer 14 day money back or exchange option starting on June 1 2012 in order to qualify for top rated seller status and fee discounts. Last year forced sellers to remove email addresses from listings so could force more people to join to send messages and make purchase through . And of course make it safer to buy on . Of course this makes it next to impossible for my customers to send me pictures of their boat parts so I can identify them before purchase. I always put my email address in my feedback area for warrantee & pictures. 1 If you really want to return for cash back there will be a 20% restocking fee and you pay all shipping and sales fees I incur. In other words don't buy parts you don't need just to see what they look like. 2 If I send you the wrong parts and it is my mistake I pay all fees, shipping and you get 100% of your money back. I make the decision that made the mistake and usually the mistake is obvious. 3 NO returns or refunds on installed, used or damaged items. Items must all be in original condition and you are required to inspect all items and ask for refund before attempting installation. No refunds on un-used items from Kits. Kits are cheaper than buying the parts by themselves. For instance If you buy a bellows kit for $100 and decide you do not want to use the U-joint bellow for any reason but you use the rest of the kit. The kit parts sell for $160 one at a time so to return a u-joint bellow may cost you $10 more because it is no longer in kit form. 4 Unused items may also be returned for cash back or store credit with a restocking fee possible less than 25% 5 If your items are shipped to a second party and they claim damage was done when they got the items there will be no warrantee, refunds or credit. 6 For any refund, credit or return all items must be shipped directly to you the buyer. 7 Any damage in shipping claims must be filed with me within 3 days of receipt of items. 8 There is a 14 day cash back policy for all returns. After that there is only store credit or replacement and you pay all shipping. 9 Check individual items for warrantee. Hydraulics have 2 years on seals. No warrantee on line threads on pumps or hydraulic rams. If you strip threads you keep them and no refunds of any kind. 10 I cover shipping insurance and if damaged when item arrives shipping 3 day coverage. The shipping insurance does not cover install damage. 11 Any remanufactured part is covered by shipping insurance but not covered for dropping and breaking after arrival. It is 3 days to inspect for damage and 14 day return policy undamaged. Example; You buy gimbal housing and inspect and it is fine. You take it to mechanic and he breaks it NO RETURN OR WARRANTEE If something is broken when you open package contact me through the messaging system and check my/your feedback for my email address so you can send me pictures. 12 I am not like Wal-Mart when it comes to returns. There are sometimes heavy shipping fees for returns and of course , paypal and credit card fees to consider in the sales. In the store gets 10% on every purchase. 13 No returns on partial orders unless authorized by me. For instance bellows/transom kits if you decide not to use a part but used the rest of the kit there is no return on that part so please don't ask. If you wanted to return letsay the shift cable bellows from a set then the rest of the kit would cost more sold individually so there would not be a refund, it would cost more. 14 All returns must be authorized by me before returning. 15 Sales tax is to be paid for Tennessee 9.25% This may help you determine what parts you need so you won't have to return. Type 1 is 1963 through 1975, Pre alpha 1976 through 1982, Alpha 1 Generation 1 1983 through 1991, Alpha 1 Generation 2 1991 to date and Bravo is 1987 to date. Of course these are actual starting/ending dates but manufactures may have used older model's from left over stock and your boat may have been upgraded prior to your purchase.
