Today I push a lot of greese through this hole, but I did not any greese. Was the greese push into gimbal bearing?

Nope,.... It'll pile up on the tiller arm, inside the boat,.....

The gimbal bearing fitting is 'bout 1/2 way down the starboard side,....

Help me please
Yes, it's difficult to repair. No, you don't need it. Seems like you have enough issues to take care of, I'd leave that one until you do your bellows. I haven't had a trim gauge or limit switch in years

I have two mercruiser, I have given up the one that the third cylinder compressure is low. Now I continue working on the new boat which cylinders are good in compressures.

Current the new boat does not have the issue of bellows.
I will leave it if it is not necessary.

Thank you
