Put on new 106 and it sounded pretty rough your staff said to ckeck gimbal bearing. Took it to a marine mechanic and he checked the bearing and alignment all is fine. After running the outdrive it seemed not to bad at first but as it warmed up the noise started to get worse. The mechanic and two others say the sound is more like bearings than gears. They say it sounds like a possible bearing problem in the top end,in the opinion of the mechanic the top end of the outdrive sounds excessivly loud. upon running the top cover plate was getting quite hot.The oil has no chunks of metal just fine dust grey in color.Oil was at the correct level there is about 4 hours on the drive.Going on a 8 day boat trip,is this something that i should worry about.worried that if it is a bearing the outdrive could seize up or break down.
