Product Details

The Engineered Marine Products 31-02773 is a replacement drive shaft thrust bearing designed for Johnson/Evinrude outboard motors and OMC Cobra stern drive applications. This new thrust bearing is a direct replacement for OEM part number 387656 (0387656) and is also cross-referenced as Sierra 18-1365 and GLM 16330.

Key Features:

  • Brand-new thrust bearing — not remanufactured or used
  • Designed to manage axial loads on the drive shaft, preventing unwanted shaft movement and reducing drivetrain friction
  • Supports smooth, efficient power transfer through the driveshaft to the lower unit
  • Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function

Cross-Reference Part Numbers:

  • OEM: 387656 / 0387656
  • Sierra: 18-1365 / 118-1365
  • GLM: 16330
  • EMP: 31-02773

This thrust bearing is a critical drivetrain component that manages axial shaft loads in OMC Cobra and Stringer stern drive systems, helping maintain proper gear alignment and minimizing wear on surrounding driveshaft components.

I have to say I was skeptical at first because autoplicity's price beat everyone by so much! Then I estimated my shipping charges with their system and that too was real cheap for this heavy item I ordered! I ordered it on Sunday and it showed up on Tuesday afternoon! So exceptional pricing meets exceptional shipping and my item is the real thing for a lot less leaves me completely satisfied with this company! I will be recommending them to my friends and family, thanks!

Quick and easy thanks

Your prices for Metal Rescue were the best I could find and your shipping was fast, although I screwed up and ordered a quart when I though I ordered a gallon
