At what point is your prop shaft to stiff? My starboard side is so tight I can barely turn the prop (while on the hard) by hand. The port side prop shaft is pretty easy to turn but nothing like an outboard for example.
I have a mechanic coming to look this week but wanted some of your input before hand.
For reference I have 07- QSM11’s w/ ZF 325 transmissions.
I suspect an my Cutlass Bearing is part of the problem or maybe I need an alignment.
Is the best process to replace Cutlass Bearings and then do an alignment in the water? My mechanic said the alignment needs to be done with a special laser tool also.
Thanks for any real life feedback. A couple pictures are included of the back side of my cutlass bearing that I think looks a little jammed up.
