Hi,
I pulled my gen2 outdrive off to change bellows/gimbal bearing/water pump, found some marks from the needle bearings on the gimbal bearing where it mounts (pic), also a groove on the driveshaft near the splines (next pic). Can I simply replace the bearing, and does the shaft need to be replaced...could this just be the result of bad alignment? I bought this thinking I simply could replace said items, I'd like to get it right the first time. Any comments would help.
Thanks,
Ed
