Grease your alpha1 - But how much ??

[Gods Favor VIP 1800]

If you have to grease your out drive , pivot points, Gimbal bearings, etc.
How do you know how much is enough? 1 pump from the grease gun?
2 pumps? Or when you see grease coming out? Can you over grease it?

Any help would be awesome !

mostly untill you see it from the hinge pins, upper and lower steering yoke.
pull the drive to check the grease going to the gimbal bearing .
Why?, because you also have to grease the U joints and the input shaft. Not to mention checking for drive oil leakage or water intrusion into the boot.
