Drive #Ow281446 bravo III
Boat was ran with drive in trailered position and a rhythmic thunk kept coming from drive after that. Removed drive from boat and tried to turn u-joints and kept finding a spot where it would get really tight and i would have to use a screwdriver to turn the u-joints.
Started to take upper apart and found if i removed the shifter the drive would free up, so i replaced the shifter but still had the same problem. So i replaced all the gears, bearings, and the shaft that the two driven gears ride on. Put it all back together after shimming (yes i do have the tools) but now it is still binding if i put it in gear. I double checked the (+) and (-) on the gears and they are correctly lined up. If i remove the top cap or the shifter the problem goes away, i've replaced a lot and not sure what i should try next.
