SEI Propeller Shaft Bearing Carrier (Mercury Compatible)
The SEI Propeller Shaft Bearing Carrier is a high-strength marine bearing, specifically designed for Mercury Outboard Motors, replacing the original OE# 12596T2 reference code part. It is manufactured to OEM tolerances to support rotating shafts in stern drive and propeller shaft systems, minimize axial/radial friction, and ensure vibration-free operation.
Propeller Shaft Bearing Carrier Advantages and Features
- Minimum Friction and Vibration: Ensures shafts rotate on the correct axis, preventing vibration-induced wear and energy loss.
- High Load Capacity: Exhibits high resistance to sudden loads and continuous radial/axial forces in marine conditions.
- Heat-Treated Steel: Made from special marine-grade alloy bearing steel with increased corrosion resistance.

Application and Usage
Bearing replacement should be performed when humming from the stern area, abnormal operating noise, or shaft play (tolerance exceeding limits) is observed during periodic stern maintenance.
