I pulled the drive to change the gimble bearing, and now the drive still has an inch to go. Any suggestions?
I bumped the starter while it was in gear and the prop shaft turns so, Im assuming the splines are aligned.
The only thing I did was pull the drive, swap the gimble bearing, replace the seals. I did start the boat while the drive was off to confirm the bearing noise I was hearing wasnt in the motor. I thought the bearing might seated, so I pulled the drive off abain and made sure it was.
