"HI, I HAVE A MARINER 175EFI, 1996 MODEL.WHEN GETTING UP ON PLANE OR LOADING ON THE TRAILER, THE MOTOR WILL "JERK" EVERY FEW SECONDS. AFTER THE BOAT IS ON THE PAD IT RUNS FINE. I DIS-ASSEMBLED THE LOWER UNIT COMPLETELY ONLY TO FIND THE UPPER BEARING ON THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS VERY LOOSE (LOTS OF PLAY). THE GEARS LOOK FINE WITH LITTLE WEAR. COULD THIS BEARING BE THE PROBLEM AND CAN THE GEARS BE MEASURED FOR WEAR? THANKS"

I HAVE THE FACTORY MANUAL. SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD ALSO REPLACE THE CLUTCH DOG AS WELL. WHAT DO OU THINK? IT LOOKS FINE BUT THIS IS MY FIRST TIME INSIDE A LOWER UNIT. ALSO I BUILT TOOLS IN MY SHOP TO DIS-ASSEMBLE BUT WILL I NEED SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR RE-ASSEMBLY
