Do synthane washers need replacing? I have a bravo I that has side to side movement between the bell housing and the gimble ring. Is it common for those synthane washers to wear and allow movement or is it most likely the gimble ring warn? The dive has about 150 hrs on it and it's on a 2002 boat. I had the drive off recently to replace the bellows so the hing pins were re-torqued to spec at that time and I used LOK-Tite. When torquing the hing pins does it suck the gimble ring in taking up space between it and the bell housing?
Thanks for any help>
