Restore proper driveline support with this New EMP Sterndrive Upper Bearing designed for OMC Cobra and King Cobra applications. Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, this precision bearing is engineered for use in upper bearing carrier assemblies, ensuring smooth shaft rotation and long-lasting durability in demanding marine environments.
Upper bearings play a critical role in maintaining correct shaft alignment and minimizing internal gear wear. Over time, bearings can wear due to heat, load, and moisture exposure, leading to noise, vibration, or premature gear damage. Replacing worn bearings during service helps maintain optimal performance and extend gearcase life.
This bearing replaces OEM part number 983877 and fits select 1986–1993 Cobra and King Cobra sterndrive models.
