I have conducted a few searches but I am still not sure about what I am looking for or how to properly test the condition of my gimbal bearing. I hear a rumbling noise when I steer to port but only when I am on the plane. I ran the motor up to 1400 rpm in neutral and not a sound. But I may not understand the mechanical connection too well. I have a stern drive so presumably when the 'drive' is in neutral, the engine is still rotating the drive shaft through the gimbal bearing and therefore if there is a problem with the bearing it should show up then? Or have I got myself completely up the creek without a paddle here? Any help much appreciated.:smt001
