Hi,
I got my Mercruiser 4.3 started and it ran for a short time then died. During the short periods of time it didn't make any funny noises at first but then started making a "railing" sound like a bearing was dry. I found the gimble bearing grease fitting and tried adding grease and starting the engine, then more grease, then more. The noise hasn't goes away. I looked behind the engine for the coupler grease fitting but I couldn't find it.
Here is a picture of the area forward of the stern behind the engine. Sorry it's so dirty in there.
