Manufacturer Suggestion for bellows/ gimbal kit

Trashman

I  have a 2004 270 fv with a bravo 3.  I see several manufactures that put together complete outdrive bellows kits. I see a mallory, sierra glm and of course oem.  Also different bearings. Can anyone steer me away from what NOT to buy and suggest a quality kit ?  Maybe the complete kit isnt the way to go? The boat will be in the marina on the delaware river for the season. I need all bellows gimbal seals and maybe a new shift cable while im at it.

I did install all bellows and gimbal bearings on both my bravo 111. And got them from Sierra good quality product and even recommended by Al

@frenchship were the Sierra kits a lot less expensive than merc. OEM?

If I remember right Sierra was about 50$ U.S cheaper than  Mercruiser. I got both kits last winter in Florida with free shipping.

 Thank you any suggestion on who to order from I usually like to buy stuff from eBay I never had a bad experience   As for the gimbal bearing I know I've read there's crucible and sealed bearings what would someone suggest...

I always buy from https://www.perfprotech.com. great web site and excellent service and competitive pricing, and shipping. As far are gimbal bearing from what I see they are now seal. I myself prefer the one you can grease if they are still available .
Good luck.
