Sierra GHR $329; 217.324.9400; www.sierramarine.com
Corroded gimbal bearings are a common problem-and cost lots in time and labor to replace. Pinching pennies? Instead of buying new parts, consider Sierra’s Gimbal Housing Repair (GHR) kit. It fixes a corroded bearing by encapsulating it in a sheath of epoxy, which makes a waterproof, unbreakable shell that’s claimed to restore the bearing’s original structural integrity. Because the engine doesn’t need to be removed to use the GHR kit, there’s fewer labor costs. Designed for professionals to install, the kit comes complete with a new bellows gasket and other parts to get your boat back in service.
