Installed gimbal bearing. What bolt to block the grease line?

Bigdrago · Sep 10, 2020

Hello. I have installed a new gimbal bearing (grease-free). So now I have to block the grease line. Anyone knows what bolt will fit?

the fitting comes with the bearing . but even if you leave the zerk in place water will not enter

It's either a 1/16 or 1/8 NPT (pipe thread).

I believe the set screw in the picture is to plug the Zerk fitting threaded hole at 4:00 on the outer transom.
Most likely 10-32 or 10-24 or possibly 1/4-20

1/4" x 28, most likely...
