Alpha one Gen 2 Sterndrive lining up gimble bearing with engine coupler issues

No. New bearings are not greaseable. No hole to align.

When did this take place? Both my bravos have grease fittings. I knew that MC or Sierra made none-greased gimbals or sealed bearings as an option, but I never realized that all gimbal bearings are no longer greaseable?

Sierra 18-2100 are greasable

No. New bearings are not greaseable. No hole to align.

Many of the aftermarket ones are. In fact, only ones that are not that I found were Sierra 18-21001 and EMP 30-00803.

Your gimbal bearing is damaged. Pull it out, throw it in the bin and get a new one. Install it like I showed you in the video.

I pulled the bearing, installed a new one according to your video. No problems. Everything worked and fitted like a glove! Thanks for the help.
