not fully n seating the gimbal will make the same sound even with new U joints
Can you elaborate this
We used the alignment tool when getting the gimbal bearing back in.
its almost impossible to not get a GEN II to slip up normally, Did the prop lock CCW ? Was the control box actually in fwd gear ? Meaning the receivers opening was in a straight line? If yes then you put it together correctly and the problem is elsewhere
the reason most fail is because the electric fuel pump starts drawing more current. this burns out the contacts in these and also the mercruiser ones. the trick is to run the fuel pump thru a cube relay and just use the pressure switch as a contact point for the low current internal cube relay
