Engineered to withstand significant axial forces, this bearing is crucial for the smooth and efficient operation of your boat's drive train. It plays a vital role in supporting the propeller shaft and other rotating components under load, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1.3em; color: #2c3e50; margin: 25px 0 15px 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; line-height: 1.8;\"\u003eThis OMC Thrust Bearing is a critical component in any marine drive system that experiences significant axial loads, such as those generated by a turning propeller. Its primary function is to absorb and transfer these forces away from more sensitive components, like gears and seals. Without an adequate thrust bearing, the constant pressure from the propeller could lead to accelerated wear, misalignment, and eventual failure of the drive system. This bearing ensures that the drive train operates smoothly and efficiently, even under heavy load conditions like acceleration or maneuvering.\nThis OMC Thrust Bearing is a critical component in any marine drive system that experiences significant axial loads, such as those generated by a turning propeller.

It's a small but vital part that contributes significantly to the overall health and reliability of your boat's propulsion. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or replacing a worn component, this thrust bearing offers the quality and performance you expect for your OMC system. It ensures that power is transmitted effectively from the engine to the propeller, providing the thrust needed for propulsion while protecting the delicate internal workings of the drive unit from excessive forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n  \n        \u003csection style=\"margin:20px 0\"\u003e\n            \u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n            \u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n                \u003cthead\u003e\n                    \u003ctr\u003e\n                        \u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:2px solid #333;background-color:#f5f5f5\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n                        \u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:2px solid #333;background-color:#f5f5f5\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n                    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n                \u003c\/thead\u003e\n                \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMFG Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e18-1365\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eOMC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCategory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eAnchor \u0026amp; Docking \u0026gt; Hardware \u0026amp; Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eApproximate Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e0.3 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eThrust Bearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eOMC marine drives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n            \u003c\/table\u003e\n        \u003c\/section\u003e\n        \n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Sierra International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46389702721698,"sku":"DM-180956","price":24.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3170\/5250\/files\/fs_180956_Web2.jpg?v=1765363948","url":"https:\/\/marinerswarehouse.com\/products\/omc-exh-man-gasket-180956","provider":"Mariners Warehouse Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
