I agree it is unique in smell, and that’s why I’m concerned that this substance doesn’t smell or feel like gear lube. I wasn’t loosing gear lube last year. Would the grease coming out of the gimbal bearing amount to as much as is in the pictures?
Yes using the blue high performance gear lube. Like I said, the substance doesn’t smell like gear lube to me.
I agree it looks like rust in the picture, but here is a photo after I wiped the gimbal bearing, no rust on it or the drive shaft. I pull the drive every Spring for maintenance and...

Did not use a spark gap tester
The old motor was running before components...

Gents,
Decided to get a head start on Spring outdrive work. I pulled the props off and found some corrosion on the bearing carrier. Question is how do I prevent this corrosion? How difficult is it to change the bearing carrier? Is it absolutely necessary to change it out as it is now? I did...
Gents, just a quick update.. I changed both gimbal rings using the JR Marine system, worked great. When rebuilding the gimbal housing I snapped the dreaded drive oil fitting. So after a few four letter words, I watched the JR marine video and driiled the old one out using a 1/2” drill bit, took...
