Just bought this boat and took it out today. 98 ebbtide. Works good but has a growling like a searing noise coming from the drive. It does it in gear or in neutral. I have never been in o w of these and only done a couple water pumps on outboards.
question is what bearing are prone to failure...
Like said not thinking I removed loosened the shift pivot screw, not removing it from the housing, thinking it was a drain. Now the unit will shift into forward but sounds rough and will not shift into reverse. How do I get it back working and what exactly does this wrk? Thanks
