Alpha Transom Assemblies

MerCruiser Alpha Transom and Gimbal Housing Assemblies

Shop complete Mercury MerCruiser and Quicksilver transom assemblies for Alpha Gen I and Alpha Gen II sterndrive applications. These assemblies mount between the engine and sterndrive and are also commonly called transom plates, gimbal housings or gimbal assemblies.

All complete Alpha transom assemblies include a 1-year Mercury Marine factory warranty.

A complete replacement transom assembly may be a practical alternative when the existing housing, steering components, trim system or multiple related parts require repair—especially during an engine or sterndrive repower.

Complete Alpha transom assemblies include:
  • Gimbal housing and inner transom plate
  • Gimbal bearing
  • Bellows and hoses
  • Trim cylinders and hydraulic lines
  • Shift cable
  • Steering and trim-related components

The transom assembly supports steering and trim operation, routes cooling water and exhaust, and seals the opening between the drive system and the boat. The components included can vary by part number and application, so review the individual product description before ordering.

BAM Tip: Alpha transom assemblies are not selected by appearance alone. Compatibility can vary by drive generation, engine and rigging configuration. Verify the engine or transom serial number before ordering.
