Are the gimbal rings made of steel, I think it my worst corrosion/electrolysis problem impacting my pivot seal....https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...4be87becc1.pnghttps://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...13e1b9866e.png https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...93084345fe.png |
The HP assembly has a stainless ring. I live in swfl also it’s good practice when your done flushing/washing /cleaning to reload the salt away cup and spray inside the gimbles really good. I do that since you can’t actually reach in there with a rag and wash it. Then crc656 everything really good. |
Looks like it might br time for upper pins. Just did mine last winter and went with the stainless ones hoping to not have to do them again. Good luck

Cancel all, leak turned out to be blocking plate leak, 5300 and all stopped. Good to go. Still ugly but useable... |
blocking plate ?? do you mean the block off for the exhaust water ypipe ??? if so did you have to pull the engine or what did you do to fix it? is block off plate bad or is the oring bad.

If I had everything apart and transom assembly looks in bad shape...I’d just replace the whole thing for $2500 and call it a day. That’s what we did. |

Suspect the gasket was bad, unable to tighten so 5300 worked for now without pulling engine. If fails again then probably looking at pull engine and replace all. |
