So, i was changing the oil on the boat yesterday, and general maintenace.
Alpha drive, took the prop off to check and grease everything, took the thrust washer off and found the back, or front of the carrier bearing assy all corroded up from exhaust probably.
I scrapped most of the ugliness off, seems that the assy is a little pitted up, nothing major looking though. Sorry i didnt take pictures, i can if anyone wants to see.
How far can these go before needing replacement. Boat is used in fresh water, going into salt, but coming through fresh on the way back.
