If the bearing is bad it will change noise level w/RPMs. At idle you can feel the bearing thru the gimbal ring where you grease it from the starboard stern. There is a zerk grease fitting at the 3:00 O'clock position when facing the stern from behind. Put you hand on the outer hsg. and you'll feel the bearing as it rolls over a rough spot on the race or worn roller balls.
