1998 Mercruser Alpha One question
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I own a 1998 Mercruser Alpha One Drive. It seems the drive has a vibration only on tight turn either way. I have taken the drive off the boat and the problem is not universals or gimble bearing. Also it had the vibration since I owned the boat. ( 4 years ) I did notice that the univeral ear tips did appear to have touched during service. I touched the areas with a grinder but the problem continues to persist. I may add there is no vibration at idle
in or out of gear, only as power is applied in gear. Also I have put a brand new prop on the unit to test with no change in results. The boat has approximately 80 hours of service. Thanks in advance !
