"1986 29ft Cruisers twin crusa
"1986 29ft Cruisers twin crusader 270's borg warner v-drives: I am almost done cleaning up the engine room and wiring, I drained and refilled the v-drives according to the manual. The boat is up on blocks and prior to engaging the transmissions I sprayed the cutlass bearings in soapy water. However the bearing intermittently would emit a high pitch squeal so I disengaged the transmission. That is the first time I have heard this.
How do I tell if the cutlass needs replacing and is there a better way to turn the prop while out of water?"
