Re: L-Drive steering arm rubbing motor mount?
Here are some pics. As you can see, the yoke has dropped darn near 1/2 of an inch and the steering arm is rubbing into the top of the mount. My question is what holds everything up inside the mount and keeps the lower unit form falling through? What ever it is, its obviously damaged in my boat. From the service manual, it appears that there is a retaining ring that holds the steering bearing in place. Is that all there is in there to hold everything together? I'm just trying to get a better idea of what I'll be running into once I tear into it. As I am quickly learning, L-Drive parts are getting hard to come by, so I don't want to tear apart anymore than I have to. Thanks again!
