So I bought my boat (1999 searay 230br) fall of 2020 and chased a issue keeping it from running. Got that fixed and never got around to pulling the drive.
Warmer weather and I'm finally getting around to remove it. I've only ever had straight inboard so I'm not sure where I'm at here.
Does everything look good?
A couple questions:
1.) Gimbal bearing feels good except for a tiny little spot (pushing down there's a spot with maybe 5* of rotation that feels a little gritty). Overreacting or should I consider changing it?
2.) There's some rust over the u-jounts and shaft. But no pitting. No issues there?
3.) Lower shift cable jaws look rusty. Ok to grease and call it good?
4.) Where the gimbal bearing zerk fitting should be there's just a small threaded nipple. Do I have a sealed gimbal bearing or did something shear
Thanks!
