Not so great !

The installation and oil changes went smooth. I heard a noise (metallic) and scheduled an outdrive service. The zert fittings (all of them) had backed out of the u-joints and pinballed around between the transom and outdrive, taking out the flanges at the outdrive and the bellows seal at the transom. SEI's warranty does not cover any of the parts that they didn't make. BEWARE!

Just curious if these were checked at time of installation or assumed to be fully seated? I have never had a zerk remove itself from a U joint.

I follow directions to the 9th degree. I did not check them, assumed them to be seated as they came new from SEI with the outdrive. I would recomend they add checking the fittings to the directions. It would have saved me thousands of dollars.
