  • No o-rings on drive shaft

    What purpose do the o-rings serve on the drive shaft? I didn't install mine, I forgot them, and as i trailer the boat and did not think they served any purpose except if the boat got a leak they would slow down the water coming into the boat, should i put them in?

    I would install them. I suspect they will help the shaft to turn the gimbal bearing as opposed to the shaft turning inside the gimbal bearing.

        That is for the newer style greasable coupler. If you do not have a greasable coupler, then it doesn't matter if you install it or not.
