drive clicks while in gear in trailer position (Full up drive), would that be U-Joints or Gimbal bearing? Hav'nt noticed any noise in hard left or right turn, but when trimmed up will get some vibration, Bravo-3 with 7.4L
Thanks in advance for you help.....

NEVER, EVER run the engine with the drive full up. You will probably damage either the transom shield, the bellows, or the outdrive itself. Possibly all three.
I would suggest you pull the drive and inspect for damage.

Probably for the same reason you use your email address for a screen name, you just don't realize the problems it can cause. Bet you get tons of SPAM and wonder why don't you?????

No I don't receive any spam because I have spam blockers but I sent emails asking for help on how to get my email address off. I have tried to no avail to remove it. If you know how help me get it off.

Your best bet is probably to create another user name possibly using "cbavier"
etc.....then send an email to the webmaster explaining what you want to do. He'll probably have to cancel the other user name.

Ayuh,.........

You Have to contact the Admin. to do it,..........

I went thru that to change the "B" in My name to a Capital letter.......

And I Agree,.... Posting an email addy on the forums is an Open Invite to the spammers,+ spambots...... Before We had IMs,.... I would only post mine for a couple of Hours,+ then edit it out.......

So Where's Chuckr,+ Why is he running his drive in the Trailer Position,..??..??..............:D

So Bondo:
How do you contact the Administrater. I tried and can't find out how to do it. I've been all over looking through help and FAQ and cannot find anything. It's like they are hiding...Lurching in the background.
Do you remember how you did it?

I had thought about posting it but that seemed like advertising. Know what I mean.
