Greetings, I was wondering if it would be an advantage to grease the gimbal bearing on my 2000 Bravo 3 while tied to the dock idleing in gear?
Thanks.....Rick

No, because the propellers will cut off your arm and then you will not be able to pump the grease into the zerk.

Don't give it another thought. If you pump it up while in the water just do it with the engine off.

This input shaft spins whether it's in gear or not.
