Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the boat's battery before starting any work.
  2. Remove Drive: Carefully detach and remove the MerCruiser stern drive unit according to the manufacturer's service manual.
  3. Disassemble Transom Components: Remove the old bellows (U-joint, shift, and exhaust), gimbal bearing, and water hoses from the transom housing.
  4. Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean all mounting surfaces on the transom and bell housing, removing any old gasket material or sealant.
  5. Install Bearing: Use a gimbal bearing driver tool to properly install the new heavy-duty bearing into the gimbal housing.
  6. Install Bellows: Install the new U-joint, shift cable, and exhaust bellows. Ensure they are correctly seated and secure all connections with the provided clamps.
  7. Install Hoses and Gaskets: Fit the new water intake hoses and place the new gaskets and O-rings in their designated positions. Use appropriate marine-grade adhesive where required.
  8. Reinstall Drive: Carefully reinstall the stern drive unit, ensuring proper alignment of the driveshaft and shift cable.
  9. Final Checks: Reconnect the battery. Once in the water, check for any leaks around the transom assembly and test the drive for proper shifting and operation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this kit fits my MerCruiser stern drive?
This kit is compatible with MerCruiser R, MR, and Alpha One Generation I models from 1983 to 1991. To ensure a perfect match, verify your drive's serial number falls within the range of 6225577 to 0D469858 for sterndrives or 6216687 to 0D469858 for transom assemblies.

What is the difference between this kit's exhaust setup and the original OEM part?
The exhaust tube in this kit is designed for a single hose clamp on the transom side, which is a common aftermarket configuration. This may result in a slightly louder exhaust noise compared to the original dual-clamp OEM setup, but does not affect performance.

What are the signs that my transom seal kit needs to be replaced?
Common signs of failure include water leaking into the bilge area through the transom, a roaring or grinding noise from the gimbal bearing when turning the wheel, or visible cracks and deterioration in the U-joint or shift bellows.

Is everything I need for the job included in this kit?
This kit provides a comprehensive set of bellows, the gimbal bearing, gaskets, O-rings, and clamps needed for a typical transom service. You will still need appropriate marine-grade sealant/adhesive and standard mechanic's tools for installation.

The BEST frother available, you will love it too!
I have an earlier model that is still really good and this one is even better. I didn't know it was possible, but Foodville has outdone themselves with this model. I love the led blue digital display at the top that shows the speed selected, and % remaining charge; there are seven speeds and I have not even gotten past the third speed. The first push of the power button, simply illuminates the blue digital display, and speed of zero; the next push shows 1, as the unit powers on and every push after increases the speed. The off button, above the on button, when pushed shows zero, and the unit spins down. It is really nice to see the confirmation that it is off, as it spins down. The amazing part is the length of charge. I have been using it for weeks and it is still over 80% charge, and the handle is still slender, not like others that get larger as capacity increases. This one is slender, lightweight and so powerful. The stand not only holds the frother, but the accessories too. I have used the whisk to scramble eggs and it does a very credible job. I can't say enough good about this frother/mixer, but it is the best I have used and I have several. The company is known for their outstanding warranty and customer service. I use speed one or two for frothing and the third speed can sometimes risk such action as to spin the mix over the rim of my frothing pitcher, so it really means business. Buy it, you won't regret it and will never want or need another. It's just the best!

Excellent product, excellent customer service, reasonable price
FoodVille has done it again, creating another great milk frother. This is the third FoodVille frother I've owned, the first two being MF02 models. After wearing my first one out after years of use, I purchased my second MF02 about a year ago, and it's still going strong. However, when I learned they had a new and improved model, I decided to buy it to try it, even though my second one still works great. The MF06 is a definite improvement, with the attachments now being all metal to avoid the potential for breakage when removing them repeatedly, the addition of the digital battery life and speed display, an improved stand, and nine versus three speed settings. There was one thing I had to quickly get used to, and that is the separate on/off button. On my last FoodVille milk frother, there were three speeds, and each speed had only one button that turned it both on and off. This MF06 has one button that controls the speed setting and one button that turns it off. The first few times I used it, I forgot about the separate off button and hit the speed button again (like with the previous one), turning it up higher instead of turning it off, causing my coffee to overflow from the cup. That isn't a design flaw, just a different design that I'm now accustomed to. Honestly, the three speeds were already plenty strong and effective for my purposes, but having nine is just an improvement, since I'm sure some people use this for more than just coffee. I use mine to blend powdered creamer and protein into almond milk before adding coffee, and the MF06 is very effective at getting it blended as smoothly as I want it. Also, I've now been using the new model for six weeks, and even with the battery power being around 75%, I haven't noticed much, if any, decrease in its power and effectiveness, and I haven't had to recharge it yet. The only reason I'm giving it four instead of five stars is one change in the design that I don't like, which is the angled head where the digital display is. While many people may love the stand that comes with this product, I personally don't have room for it and don't use it, and I cannot set this frother on the end of its handle to act as a base like I do with the MF02. If I wanted to leave it sitting on the counter, it won't stand upright on its end unsupported, so I would be forced to use the stand if I didn't have a specific storage container set in a wire metal basket on the counter where this will rest at an angle between two canisters and against the side of the basket. Changing the angled end on the handle to a flat end that will stand upright would be my only recommendation if/when FoodVille decides to update this product again. I also have to say that one reason I chose to order the MF06 when I didn't really need a new milk frother yet is that their customer service has been amazing. The first product I bought from them years ago had some sort of issue shortly after I got it (I don't even remember now what it was), and Elisa very promptly addressed the issue and resolved my problem with excellent communication. When a plastic component on an attachment on the older model broke, she promptly sent me a replacement. For me, FoodVille has delivered high quality products and excellent customer service, honors their warranty, and seems very interested in customer feedback to help them improve their products. For reviewers who said they had an issue shortly after buying it and gave a low rating, I suspect they didn’t even try to contact FoodVille for a replacement, because they honor their warranty beyond Amazon’s 30 days.

Perfect for Bulletproof Coffee, Shakes, and Daily Use
I have been using the previous FoodVille frother since 2024 and I still rely on it, but the MF06 is definitely a real upgrade. The build quality is better, it is simple to use, and the sturdier attachments feel more durable. I love the single‑button variable speed control! The new digital display is another nice improvement, and I find the charge lasts longer, which by the way, it charges by USB so no batteries needed. I use it daily for bulletproof coffee, protein shakes, and for mixing other supplements. Customer service has been excellent and always responsive. I am very happy with this purchase. For the price and performance, it is an excellent choice!

The best hand frother
Color: Pure White, Color: Pure White
UPDATE: I bought this hand mixer in July 2025 and used it almost every day. It’s an incredibly good product, durable, reliable, and very easy to use. It comes with a charger, and the battery lasts a long time also it included a metal stand to hold it. Sadly it stopped working about a week ago (April 2026), but the best part is that it comes with a two-year warranty. It was very easy to contact customer support via email, they responded the same day, and I received a free replacement just a few days later. The new unit is the same product with the same accessories, but instead of just a stand, it now comes with a charging base, which is a fantastic and very practical upgrade. This is the best hand frother I’ve ever purchased. Even after almost a year of use, the accessories are still in perfect condition, and the customer service was excellent. I 100% recommend it.
