14587A7 Aftermarket Mercruiser Bearing Carrier | Sawley's Select Marine Parts

🔧 Product Description

Aftermarket MerCruiser Alpha One Gen II Counter-Rotation Bearing Carrier - Part Number: 14587A7

Replacement propeller-shaft bearing carrier for the early MerCruiser Alpha One Generation II counter-rotation gearcase. This is the specific 1991-1995 carrier design identified by 14587A7 and must not be confused with the later 818290A6 carrier used in other counter-rotation housings.

⚙️ Key Features

• Designed for the early Alpha One Gen II counter-rotation lower gearcase

• Supports the propeller shaft, bearing and seal arrangement within the gear housing

• Correct replacement for gearcases originally catalogued with 14587A5 or 14587A7

• Counter-rotation-specific design; not interchangeable with the standard-rotation carrier

• Part-number and casting confirmation are essential because two carrier designs were used across counter-rotation units
