GH MARINE / BELLOWS & RELATED PARTS
About this part
Multi-component transom bellows seal kit containing U-joint bellows with clamp, exhaust bellows with clamp, shift cable bellows, gimbal bearing, water inlet hose, outdrive mounting gasket kit, and hose clamps. Listed for specified Volvo Penta SX and DP-S sterndrive designations and most OMC Cobra sterndrives from 1986 onward, subject to drive configuration and component-number matching.
No single whole-kit OEM number is established for this multi-component service kit; the listed replacement numbers identify individual components and should not be treated as interchangeable part numbers for the complete kit.
Match the application
Identify the complete drive model including its full suffix before ordering. SX-S, SX-C, SX-R, SX-M, DP-S, DP-S1, and DP-SM are separately listed Volvo Penta designations; do not assume that SX-A or DPS-A/B uses the same complete kit. For OMC Cobra drives, distinguish the 1986–1993 dog-clutch arrangement from later cone-clutch arrangements, check whether the drive uses an exhaust boot, and compare the existing exhaust-bellows reference (3850426 / 18-1074 and 914036 / 18-2764 are separate catalogue versions) rather than relying on “Cobra” or model year alone.

Workshop sequence
General workshop guidance only; use the service procedure for your exact drive or engine configuration.
- Compare every supplied component—U-joint bellows, exhaust bellows, shift cable bellows, gimbal bearing, water inlet hose, and mounting gaskets—against the removed parts and your sterndrive service manual before beginning installation.
- Clean and inspect all transom housing and pivot housing mating surfaces, bellows grooves, and hose spigots so they are free of corrosion, old adhesive, and debris.
- Seat the gimbal bearing and route the U-joint, exhaust, and shift cable bellows and water inlet hose without twists or kinks, positioning clamps and applying adhesives or sealants according to the service manual for your specific Volvo Penta or OMC Cobra drive.
- Reinstall the sterndrive using the supplied outdrive mounting gasket kit and verify shift cable travel and trim/steering clearance across the full range of motion.
Questions from the workshop
Can I use this kit on a Volvo Penta SX-A or DPS-A/B sterndrive?
Do not assume that SX-A or DPS-A/B uses the same complete kit as SX-S, SX-C, SX-R, SX-M, DP-S, DP-S1, or DP-SM. Identify your full drive model suffix and match each individual component part number before ordering.
How do I verify if this kit fits my 1986 or later OMC Cobra drive?
Do not select by the name “Cobra” or model year alone. Distinguish between 1986–1993 dog-clutch drives and later cone-clutch arrangements, check whether your drive uses an exhaust boot, and verify the exhaust bellows number (this kit includes exhaust bellows referenced to 3850426 / 18-1074, which is a separate catalogue version from 914036 / 18-2764).
