Welllllll things are interesting with the77 Cobalt. I noticed some water coming in the boat last time I was out. I noticed a bit of oil dripping from the outdrive and thought it must be the trim, but a closer inspection and I see the gimble bearing bellows is detached. The oil is from the lower unit, oil that I just replaced a month ago so it's clean and not milky or anything.
But coming from the lower unit into the gimble bearing housing has to be bad. I guess I'll end up replacing a lot of stuff with this, my main question is how bad? We have a trip to the lake planned this weekend that I can't cancel now. I've got no noise coming from the gimble bearing but I'm sure if it's seen any water it needs to be replaced.
Thoughts?
