Looking for MC1 sterndrive bellows kit part number 188

[stantonxr7]

I am trying to find a Mercruiser part # for complete bellows kit for a 188 outdrive from a 1976 Lund President. I cannot find the outdrive serial # after looking at every known location as well as all around. Boat came with a 302 powerplant.

I have used the Quiksilver bellows kit and it tore on the U-Joint bellows; so I'd like to not use the same kit as before.

 

[Fun Times]

Quicksilver is a Mercruiser product and one in the same just branded different in name.

In searching past history #3 it looks like the 188-HP (302) uses a 888 stern drive, and in looking over the U-Joint bellows only (no kit) via the parts catalog it seems they offer 2 different part number depending on what your transom assembly / or drive serial numbers happen to be.

The two part numbers are 36223A2 or 60932A4 item numbers 19, https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/30852/1579/4

So with that info, maybe/possibly the kit offered a different type/numbered bellows vs what you may need which may be the reason the bellows seemed to fail quicker then expected.

Just a thought is all... In the link above hover the mouse arrow cursor over the "Notes" for serial number info mentioned here.

Hope this helps some, Good luck.
