Hi All,
Would really appreciate your expertise here. I have a Fairline Sprint with a rumble on acceleration and certain speeds. The rumble becomes quite severe on full lock.
It got called out as a worn gimbal bearing in a prior service, but in my view on this engine and drive its actually one a bearing on the primary drive shaft, located under bellhousing. Its been like this for some time before my ownership and now I just want it fixed as I'm sure things will only get more expensive if not fixed.
My boat is has fairly large engine bay, which would allow the engine to be moved forward at least a foot.
Does this job require the engine to be lifted out of the boat and put on a pallet or can they move the engine forward and do this in situ? I guess I want to understand how big a job this really is for an engineer. It seems like its been put off by previous owners which makes me think they got a huge quote!
Thanks!
Adrian
