I am freshening up the drives on my boat and am ordering new trim position sensors, indicator cables, hydraulic trim lines,etc
The boat was meticulously maintained, but I have no idea when this stuff had been serviced or gone through. the boat worked perfect in the water last summer, and not sure if its worth the extra hassle to have the gimbal bearings replaced
thanks

when it locks up and heats up so much while your running that your driveshaft snaps and blows through your bellows, then the boat starts sinking. Atleast thats when I replaced mine........
