Hello to all and thanks for looking,
I am wondering how hard it is to replace the gimbel bearing in my 1970 Sea Ray SRV 190 with the pre Alpha O/D and the Mercrusier 165 inline 6. I have the outdrive off and the bearing does have a snap-ring on the outside of the bearing. I checked with the local boat repair guys and they estimated it would cost $60.00 for the bearing and $120.00 in labor. I am curious if there are special tools needed to replace the gimbel bearing and if so maybe a couple hundred bucks is worth it.
I do have tools and access to a slide hammer. Long time Hot Rod Mechanic short time boat Mechanic.
Thanks for the imput.
Mike
