I bought mercruiser gimbal bearing/u joint grease and want to add some to the out drive zerk. My question is how much do I pump in the zerk? I will also be greasing the hinge pins zerks(2) with 2 4 c grease and have the same question.

5 into the gimbal would be plenty. It just over flows out into the driveshaft bellows. 2 in the hinges ought to be enough. remember what Bond-o say, "any grease is better than no grease at all".
