So I have a 2005 Reinell with the 5.0 SX drive, I think it’s the M drive, I recently replaced the

gimbal bearing which stopped the knocking sound but now when I turn or accel hard it vibrates, the new bearing is a sealed instead of a greaseable like the old one

can someone help me with proper part numbers and identification of a bearing for it?

please help, the boat only has 150 hours on it I’m not sure what to do

Bearing probably fine, your problem might be U joints

Also did you check the engine alignment with the alignment bar?

Out of align would cause premature gimbal bearing and u-joint wear.
