I will be replacing both sleeve bearings on my boat. In my search for replacements, I came across these two brands, both of which are manufactured in the USA. There is a significant difference in price between the two. I'm looking for first hand knowledge as to the quality of the Morse Rubber product. From what I've found the Duramax is the gold standard for sleeve bearings, but could find little feedback on the Morse product. There are numerous reputable companies selling the Morse sleeve bearings so I guess they are probably good. I like to save a buck where I can, but this is not a job I want to do twice. Thanks in advance for your input.
