    OK I know it's a bearing but this is scary shi*! I found this in the bilge...

    Looks like a U-joint bearing but I'm not missing any, and haven't rebuilt it.
    The only thing I have done is swap jets. Does this thing belong inside the shaft housing? Could it have fallen out from somewhere during swap?
    I noticed some noise, but it just sounded like normal u-joint slop and goes away at 1000-1200 rpm.
    I rebuilt the engine a year ago but ripped out everything and cleaned the hull... I would have found it!
    Stamped on the back: "INA BCH 06604 USA"
    HELP!

    I can't really tell from the pic, but have you changed the crank lately? Looks like it could be a clutch pilot bearing from the center hole of the crank. It could have been loose it there for a while and fell out when you pulled the drive line.............Just a guess.................MP

    Maybe it fell out of your starter or altenator or someone threw it in there.
