I have a feeling that's why I have a...

    Motor out of alignment

    So would this cause my gimbal bearing to wear out quicker. I'm asking because before I bought the boat whoever worked on it didn't know what they were doing and this is why I'm having this problem. I think my motor has been replaced. Out of 20 years of boating I've never had this problem before.

    Motor out of alignment

    So once I have that tool made it should slide right through the gimbal bearing and right into the back of the motor without any problems. And it shouldn't be hard to slide in the back of the boat?

When I did my gimbal bearing and bellows I noticed these 2 oval looking rubber pieces in the bottom of my y pipe for the exhaust. I guess they are my old flappers. I bought new ones but I also read somewhere not to put...

    5.0 Volvo Penta - Not going full speed at full throttle

    Pull your fuel line off your carburetor and and put the end of your fuel line in a bottle and turn the motor over and see if u got fuel pressure. It should fill that bottle very quickly. A 16oz bottle will work. If it doesn't fill that bottle more than half way in about 5 seconds of turning it...
