Hi guys the other day the boat started making a loud helicopter fast thumping noise when turning the wheel.. especially when in idle.. but when going straight you can't hear it.. so I took out the drive and noticed there was water in the ujoint bellows.. gimbal looks good and is smooth But I looked at the ujoints and and housing is chipped and one bearing is shot .. I can turn the shaft one way but not the other ? I can but is Very hard? I hope it's not a huge repair .. how can I verify the drive it self is ok since it's not turning one way ? Check second pic , you can see the chipped metal Housing and busted Bearing ..
