GHMarine shift cable bellows for select OMC Cobra clutch-dog sterndrives — OEM 911826 (also listed as 0911826 / 0778137). Cross-refs 18-2763, 89210, 9-72709, 85826. This seals the shift-cable passage at the transom — it is not a U-joint bellow and not an exhaust bellow.

Need U-joint bellow 3854127 → GH 18B5002. Need exhaust 3850426 / 914036 → GH 17B1010 family. Need MerCruiser Alpha shift bellow 74639A2 → GH 17B1005 (different platform — do not merge by name).

Which bellow is this?

It is the rubber boot that seals where the shift cable passes through the transom / drive area on listed OMC Cobra clutch-dog packages. Confirm the old bellow or EPC shows 911826 before you order.

It is not U-joint bellow 3854127 (GH 18B5002), not exhaust bellow 3850426 / 914036 (GH 17B1010), not MerCruiser shift bellow 74639A2 (GH 17B1005), not a gimbal bearing, and not a full transom multi-bellow kit.

Signs yours is due

• Shift-cable boot on an OMC Cobra clutch-dog drive is cracked, split, or water-logged — stamped 911826 / 18-2763 / 89210 when readable.
• Water enters around the shift cable at the transom while the U-joint and exhaust bellows still look serviceable.
• You almost ordered U-joint 3854127 or MerCruiser 74639A2 because the chart said "shift / bellow" — stop and match 911826 on the Cobra clutch-dog path.
• Divert: U-joint → GH 18B5002. Exhaust → GH 17B1010. MerCruiser Alpha shift → GH 17B1005.
