Re: Gear case lapping question

Well for the update. Put the bearings back in without the gears and as suspected, suggested, and hypothesized it is my error. I took off too much material and have just the slightest rocking over the bearing od’s between skeg and housing. I compared this to another un touched version and no rocking was present.

Thanks to all for the help. Hard lesson learned. On the positive side Now I have a gear case for a motor mail box image that my wife does not know about….yet
