Outdrive Noise. How Much?

[achris]

If you are talking about the small bearing in the top cover of the drive shaft housing, yes... For that one, you don't even need to pull the drive. As for greasing the bell housing gasket... Don't. The edges of the gasket are very thin, and greasing will (does) allow the gasket to slide out of place. Just make sure the surfaces are clean and flat and put it together dry.... I grease the water passage 'O' ring to hold it in place while I slide the drive on, that's all...
