    B1 install/ grease question?

    I am getting ready to reinstall my B1 and have a quick question about greasing. I have the newer (non-zerk) U-Joints, so I assume if they feel good to leave them alone? Also, where do I grease the gimble? Is there a zerk inside the engine compartment? I don't have one on my transom assembly, so is it inside the bilge area?

    I have one Bravo where the gimbal grease fitting is in the engine compartment (I think on top at the back) and another that is on the outside transom assembly stbd side. Bill

    The grease fitting for the Gimbel is outside on the right hand side of the shield, it is the only fitting the late models have.
