Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and have been bit by the boating bug again so here I am gearing up for this summer. I have an '89 Sorrento 230 with a 454 Mag and Bravo 1 OD. I am going to be replacing the u-joints, bellows, and gimbal bearing before we hit the water. My question is if anyone has any unbiased suggestions as to what brand of replacement parts to use. I see prices all over the place and don't know which parts to go with. Ideally I would like to go with true Mercruiser parts but if I can save a coupe hundred $ on another brand that is just as good then great. That's just more fuel in the tank!!! I see SEI brand for cheap but I have a gut feeling to avoid that brand for some reason with no previous experience with them. Any advice, suggestions, or experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advnce!
