| Evinrude 0386014 Driveshaft Bearing Assembly Genuine OEM product | $12.74 No longer availableSearch Nationwide Inventory | Best | Genuine OMC/Evinrude assembly with a Torrington BH-810 bearing (marked on the cup). BH-810 is the heavy‑duty, full‑complement drawn‑cup style: 0.500 in ID x 0.750 in OD x 0.625 in width, designed for a tight press fit in the housing and higher radial load capacity. The photo details (TORRINGTON, BH‑810, USA, star stamp) and old OMC box indicate NOS OEM quality. In practice this BH series cup thickness matters in gearcases and driveshaft carriers—using the correct heavy‑duty OD prevents the cup from spinning and handles shock loads better. Full‑complement means no cage and maximum rollers, which is ideal for slow/medium‑speed, high‑load radial locations; it must run on a hardened shaft and be pressed squarely into the bore. Community rebuild notes for OMC lower units consistently stress correct press fit and sealing to avoid water intrusion that kills bearings—this part aligns with those best‑practice requirements. Overall, this is the safest, most specification‑correct choice for applications that call out BH‑810. |

| EMP 31-08700 Bearing (viewing this product) Aftermarket product | $7.99 In stock 5+ in stock | Good | Aftermarket EMP bearing shown marked KOYO B‑810 (USA). B‑810 is the standard full‑complement drawn‑cup: 0.500 in ID x 0.688 in OD x 0.625 in width. Koyo is a reputable Tier‑1 bearing maker and the build shown (open ends, full complement) is appropriate where the housing is machined for the 11/16 in OD—commonly used as a wrist‑pin (small‑end) bearing on various older OMC 9.9/15 hp engines. However, it is not dimensionally interchangeable with a BH‑810 driveshaft or carrier location that expects a 3/4 in OD heavy‑duty cup; installing a B‑810 there will be loose and can spin or fail. If your parts list specifically calls B‑810 (or a wrist‑pin bearing), this is a solid choice. If it calls BH‑810, select the heavy‑duty version instead. As with any full‑complement needle bearing, press into a proper‑size bore, use a hardened journal, and keep water out—many field reports cite water intrusion as the common cause of premature bearing failure. |
