Cig,
the old ones without the wear pads would rub and wear away, nature of the beast. If it were a new one and the plastic broke and wore into the metal.. then I would look at loose components in the transom assy. If the wear isnt too bad you can add the plastic wear pads by cutting a slot and drilling a hole. Or upgrade to a newer drive.

Being that is it the older style it will rub the paint off. When sitting on the trailer, can you look between the drive and the gimbal and see clearance? These things flex and the drive is suppose to be supported by the gimbal, so there will be a wear point there, unless you have the plastic wear pads. I would look for clearance and then add the wear pads to it.. Take a look at a newer drive setup and compare the diff between the two, before you do any cutting to add the wear pads.. I have never done it, but it does look doable..??

What's got me stumped is the port side is just fine. Starboard is only rubbing on the right side as if there is not enough clearance. I even replaced the studs for the MM hydraullic steering wing plates. It pisses me off that I cant keep paint on it.
Dick, yes I did get your PM. Thanks. |

There seems to be clearance of about a 1/4". It does not make contact at all while on the trailer while I watch it travel up & down but only while under way. Definetly drivin me nuts when everything is factory new with hp gimbals.
clearance. Also if anyone can answer this:grinser010:, does the wear occur while the drive is moving up and down or does it wear while the drive is down and under a load forcing it side to side? |
My guess is that this is happening while under load

Yes I would like to also know is there some type of min/max
clearance. So I guess I answered my own question:grinser010: |
