I have a Alpha 1 outdrive that
I have a Alpha 1 outdrive that the upper gears went up in. Pulled the drive and saw some signs of water laying in the bellows. The gimbal bearing and ring was replaced the year prior. There did not seem to be any water back around the gimbal bearing. It still turns and does not seem to have any slop. How do you know if the bearing is bad? Where do I look for how the water was getting in this area? I did not see any sign of water in the gear oil when drained.
Thanks.
