Re: OMC Lower Unit Sealant and Questions

That is a ball bearing in there, so there should be virtually zero play in the bearing. But I suppose it is possible for the shaft to be slopping around in the bearing, or the bearing in the housing. Good thinking on the possible mismatch of the housings. I’m thinking about the front bearing, a tapered roller bearing. But it would have to be pretty bad to make it sloppy at the aft end. I don’t know, keep us informed on what you find.
