Wow I sure love boats and when I am out on the water looking over the bow there is noting like it. Good thing that it outweighs the frustration of mechanical breakdowns, right? So after all of the work that I did previously bellows, etc. Went to change the water pump on the lower unit. Shaft at the top was cracked and gears were twisted and the bellows were full of oil when the sterndrive was removed, drive shaft seal. Apparently my Dad something pretty hard. Anyway, I am proud owner of a new SE-116. However, after putting in the water it run great. When I turn the steering hard right or left, the knocking is still there. With all new unit, u joints ect. To me is must be the new gimbal bearing I put in. While my pride is hurt, as I didn't install it right or maybe I got a cheap one. I don't know what else it can be? It knocks gear and in neutral when turning left or right.
Am I missing something?
