Great. I have been sweating bullets the last hour. Got everything else running good so I'm free to burn the go go juice!!

Tore the lower off today and it looks like the seal between the lower and upper is messed up. So that looks good for the leak?? But I got a little bit more prob. The gimble bearing is shot. It was bad last yr and is toast this yr. prob is I have a little bit of water in the u joint bellows. About 1 cup or so. 2 yrs ago I redone the bellows and put on new. I flooded the boat last yr for about 10 min (forgot plug). I wonder if thats how it got in there? The u joints are not rusted and really nothing looks rusted. I don't really think the bellows is leaking but not sure. I also had a rip in the gasket between the drive and gimble housing. I put some silicone on it but maybe not enough. I guess I could reseal the bellows up again. I'm ready for a bravo and junk this alpha!!
