Gimbal bearings are essential components for Mercruiser stern drive systems. They allow the engine and drive unit to tilt and pivot smoothly, while also supporting the weight of the entire assembly. As such, they play a crucial role in the overall performance and reliability of your boat.
A gimbal bearing is a type of bearing that is specially designed to handle high loads and complex movements. It consists of two races, one of which is fixed and the other which is free to rotate. The races are separated by a set of balls or rollers, which allow the bearing to move smoothly in all directions.
Gimbal bearings are used in a variety of applications, including aircraft, automotive, and marine industries. In the case of Mercruiser stern drives, gimbal bearings are located between the engine and the drive unit. They allow the engine to tilt up and down, as well as swivel left and right. This allows for easy access to the engine for maintenance and repairs, as well as the ability to maneuver the boat in tight spaces.
