Thanks for making this video. I needed to see these tools in action and figure out where to put that hole in the installation tool.

[@AchikSarih]

Thank you, my brother, for this distinguished work. Thank you very much and more than that❤❤❤❤❤

[@OnboardWithEddie]

[@OnboardWithEddie]

Happy to help out thank you for your support once again🤙⚓️

[@JasonHash]

You put bearing in wrong. Little dot on bearing should be at 10 o'clock position.

[@mchaves7663]

Hi Eddie, good to see you on the screen again. How often do we need to replace the bearing? Does it start to make sounds when it is on its way out?

[@OnboardWithEddie]

yes it does. It will make a winding noise. once in a while a clicking. Thanks for watching the videos and thanks for your support. 🤙⚓️

[@deang4895]

Excellent video. Ill be doing my bearing next. Do you recommend greasable or sealed?

[@beliedat2457]

Not an excellent video 😂 he put the bearing in wrong.

[@deang4895]

I thought something looked off😂

[@kenhotaling7050]

The universal tool you used to hammer the bearing back in, wouldn't that only be a safe way to set it up assuming the old bearing was riding where it should be? Is it possible to hammer the bearing in too far or is there a lip in the housing to stop it where it should be?

[@OnboardWithEddie]

There’s a lip where the bearing will stop

[@mchaves7663]

Eddie you gotta show us how you do bellows replacement. Lots of videos on KZbin about it but they all tell half of the story.thanks again for another great video.

[@OnboardWithEddie]

I already have that video done. I just have to edit it. That’s the next video 🤙⚓️. Just have to get the time to edit it now. Lol

[@MrWalter_Music]

Hey @onboardwitheddie another request for a bellows video! I’ll be doing it this spring on my B3

[@JG-wr1sl]

I've learned a lot from your videos over the years.

[@OnboardWithEddie]

Always happy to help out. Thank you for all your support throughout the years.⚓️🤙

[@miked5563]

Me too! Thank you.

[@chadwicoff6378]

Great videos. Thanks so much !!. Just recently bought a boat with the 5.0 mpi. I will definitely be referencing your videos. Best I've found.

[@OnboardWithEddie]

Happy to be able to help you out. Thank you so much for your support.🤙⚓️

[@positivityfilms]

Year after year i return to watch your videos. Thanks Eddie! I must say that this particular job looks like a pain in the ass!

[@OnboardWithEddie]

I hope the videos help you out. It’s not really that bad of a job. once the outdrives are off. just takes a little muscle. thank you for all your support. 🤙⚓️

[@mikeolson7188]

You can use your grease gun to push some grease thru the hole on the gimbal housing to aid in lining up the grease hole on the new gimbal bearing on the non-sealed gimbal bearings when applicable.

[@beliedat2457]

Just mark the front with white out

[@jaybdvm]

I will stay with outboards

[@TransAm2k4]

I would love an video overview showing what are typical items that we should be looking out for as preventive maintenance and when (run hrs) to do these. Also maybe general maintenance schedules such as drive oil change out time frames and sea water impeller and such.

[@ctrfk8740]

Liked. Stop showing off your guns bro 💪 lol

[@dimigio1]

Thanks Eddie.....!!!!

[@tiborh6612]

If the shaft is stuck in the bearing and the out drive is not coming ouy/off What do you suggest or do you have a video for that ?

[@beliedat2457]

Pry and pry and pry on lower unit

[@good2know606]

Great video

[@OnboardWithEddie]

Thank you for your support🤙⚓️
