With the engine removed, the shaft which enters the boat has about 1/4" of play. <br /><br />1. Is this normal or do I have a bearing to replace?<br />2. Is this the Gimbal Bearing?<br />3. In order to align the new engine, do I have to remove the outdrive?<br />4. What part of the outdrive do I remove?<br />5. Any other tips that may be helpful<br /><br />Thanks in advance!<br /><br />Matt<br />Seattle, WA<br />1978 Reinell 6m Deep-V<br />w/ Mercruiser 898
