Hello fellow boaters,
Recently, my portside outdrive starting making noise when the outdrive is in the upward position and either when I turn hard to the left or right. With both outdrives down and at idle speed there is no noise. How do I know whether this is a gimbal bearing or U-joint that needs replacement. I am getting ready to bring my boat to the local Sea Ray dealer to have them give me an estimate for repair. Has anyone else experienced this problem and what can I expect the cost range to be to make the necessary repair?
