The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I bought a 1998 Caravelle bowrider last summer. I went to grease the gimbal bearing this spring and the zerk came out with the grease gun...ugh. I see McMaster Carr has self threading zerks....what would everyone recommend as a fix?

yeah depending on how much thread is left this will be an option. Worst case you may have to put a thread insert in. f you grease gun is like mine the tip has an adjustment for how tight it hangs on to the zerk
The SX and DP-SM drives (you don't say what you have) the grease nipple (zerk) is screwed into the female end of a plastic tube. The other end is just slightly tapered and is just glued into the gimbal housing.
