Mercruiser Gimbal Housings The Mercruiser Gimbal Housing Assembly is sometimes referred to as a "transom assembly". All new units include such items as the bellhousing, gimbal ring, bellows, shift cable inner transom plate, mounting hardware, front tilt pin and both hydraulic trim cylinders with hoses. The Gimbal Housing Assemblies are fully painted, assembled and ready to install onto your boat. For those of you who are upgrading from an "R" style gimbal housing, to an Alpha One style, you will need to make some slight modifications to your transom hole to make the Alpha One transom fit. If you are upgrading from an "R" style to an Alpha One Gen II gimbal housing then you will also need to trim the transom hole cut-out just a little in a few places to provide clearance. When converting from an Alpha One to a Bravo style gimbal housing assembly, you will have to drill two additional holes to accommodate the two extra mounting studs that the Bravo Gimbal Housing uses at the top. If you have a really old gimbal housing assembly then it is best to simply repower with complete Mercruiser Sterndrive Package. The aggravation of trying to make the old exhaust pipe, steering and trim systems to adapt to a new style transom is just crazy. Items such as flywheel housings, shift plates, couplers and yoke shafts make a conversion of this type ridiculously expensive.
