Part Type: Gimbal Housing Grease Seal / Gimbal Bearing Oil Seal
Condition: NEW OLD STOCK
This listing is for one genuine Mercury Marine / MerCruiser OEM gimbal housing grease seal, part number 26-88416.
This is an original OEM MerCruiser seal used with compatible gimbal bearing / transom assembly applications.
Mercury discontinued using this seal in MerCruiser transom assemblies in 2009, when Mercury transitioned to grease-for-life/permalube gimbal bearings.

If you are servicing an older MerCruiser transom assembly that calls for 26-88416 / 88416, this is the genuine OEM part you are looking for.
Please verify your exact application before purchasing.
