saildrive bearing

[phildy]

My Yanmar SD20 saildrive needs a replacement lower housing bearing part no 24512-053064. Is this a standard bearing or am I forced to pay the exorbitant price for a locally sourced yanmar part. Does anyone have the reference for an off the shelf standard bearing that will do the job??

Once you get the bearing out, it is just simple measurements with your calipers to figure out what it is. In case of doubt, take it in hand to your local bearing and seal supplier.

Cheers i'll do just that-sounds like its a standard bearing. Can't imagine Yanmar making there own
