"I just bought a 1991 searay with a 3.0 mercruiser with the gen II drive. I believe the boat did a lot of sitting around and the gimbal may be original to the boat. I removed the drive and as I did so about a pint of water leaked out of the case and there was about an inch of standing water in the drive bellow. Is this normal or is it telling me to change the bellow. The U/J has surface rust but stll moves freely and shows no signins of wear. The Gimbal is corroded and I have almost popped a blood vessel trying to slide hammer it out, is there a better way to get it out?
Thanks M"
