Gimble bearing

[cfelton]

I pulled my outdrive the other day just to check my alignment and found my gimble bearing getting rough. Its only 3 years old but it had a little water in the boot around the drive shaft. the seal was torn a little so thats probably where my leak was. I ordered a new gimble bearing and seal from Ebasicpower in Harkers Island N.C. and got it the next day! They're really cheap and deliver fast. I guess if it stops raining today sometime I'll try to put it back together. Before I left my last job I had one of our machinist turn me out an alignment tool out of some cold roll stock. It was free and works great!
