Duo-Prop Rebuild or Replace????

[NoSlack]

I changed all my steering bushings a few years ago and brought the slop back down to 1"-2". Most of the remaining slop is in the linkage between the ram and the steering arm. No bushings to change in tose pieces, so I'll need to pull the parts, enlarge the hole and have some bushings made to finish the job.

That sounds like to much work so I decided to just go fishing instead.

Phil, I noticed you said you changed the drive-shaft bearing on your boat at one time? Is this the main bearings in the bellhousing that you changed? What is the best way to lubricate those bearings and shaft in the bellhousing? What type of lube? Anyone? I want to lube it up if possible before I reinstall the bellhousing on my motor.

The driveshaft bearing the bearing on the stubshaft you see when you take the outdrive off. DON'T try to lube this bearing...the shaft should be lubed.....

The bearing is a 6206 if my memory is correct....
Get a double rubber sealed bearing (late version)....I bought mine from volvo for about $20
If you look around, I am sure you could save $10

Don't break the plastic bushings as they as more $$$$

I don't need to take it apart and replace anything, I just thought to pump some lube in there through that screw on the outside of the bellhousing if applicable? And didn't know what kind or how.
