hi guys, I have a 1991 Chris Craft 228 Concept with 5.8 OMC Cobra outdrive, I have put so much money and time already into this boat now I found noise in the outdrive causing sometimes no start and locks up motor, no power. Took the top cover off and found the shaft that goes to water pump had bearing on it that fell apart, missing several rollers. My question is what should I do? can that bearing be replaced? my mechanic never worked on OMC outdrive and thinks I need to buy whole used outdrive. Any advice what can I do or the cost or even some tech that knows OMC's I live in Chicago. Iam auto mechanic but I have no clue about outdrives. Thank you
