ATLAS JACK PLATE 6" HD MPN-AHJ-6VHD-DP

Safeguard your boat's essential U-joint assembly from the harsh marine environment with this robust U-joint bellows. This critical component acts as a protective shield, preventing water, dirt, and debris from entering and damaging the sensitive U-joint and gimbal bearing. A compromised bellows can lead to costly repairs and downtime, making its integrity paramount for the longevity of your sterndrive or inboard engine's drive system.

• Key Features
• Superior Water Protection: Creates a watertight seal to keep water out of the U-joint and gimbal housing.
• Debris Barrier: Effectively blocks sand, grit, and other contaminants from reaching critical drivetrain components.
• Durable Rubber Construction: Made from high-quality, marine-grade rubber designed to resist salt water, UV rays, and abrasion.
• Essential Sterndrive Component: Crucial for the proper functioning and longevity of marine sterndrive systems.

This U-joint bellows is engineered for resilience and long-term performance in demanding saltwater or freshwater conditions. Its flexible yet strong material allows for the necessary movement of the drive shaft while maintaining a secure seal. Regular inspection and replacement of the U-joint bellows are vital maintenance tasks for any boat owner to prevent catastrophic drive system failure. Investing in a quality bellows means investing in the reliability and performance of your vessel, ensuring peace of mind on the water.

The application of this U-joint bellows is primarily within marine sterndrive and inboard/outboard engine drive systems. It is designed to fit specific makes and models, ensuring a precise and effective seal. Its function is to isolate the U-joint and gimbal bearing from the elements, which are notoriously corrosive and abrasive in marine settings. By maintaining this protective barrier, you are actively preventing the ingress of water that can lead to rust and bearing failure, as well as sand and debris that can cause mechanical damage. This component is fundamental to the overall health of your boat's drivetrain.
