Hi, I have a 1999 volvo penta 5.0gi with sx-m outdrive. Just bought it, not my first boat, but first time doing it myself.
Removed the outdrive to grease and inspect. Found the gimbal bearing totally destroyed, inner race in two pieces, bellows boot ripped, need some advise, never saw a transom beveled out like this one is from getting hit by driveshaft, so I replace it or just use it, no cracks other than where the aluminum is mushed out. also, where do I find parts online? I have been hunting and all I can find is the bellows boot, and a driveshaft, I would like to do just the u-joints, but says not servicable. I see no reason why.
any part numbers for u joints or gimbal bearing would be great.
Any information and part numbers would be great, this site has some of the best information I have ever seen, I am positive there will be some good advise.
