Great explanation of the gimbal bearing also a quick note, don’t run your engine with the drive all the way up, you’ll put a lot of stress on the gimbal bearing and u joints, thanks Michael 👍😁

Wow great video. Was not aware it moved in dual axis!

excellent video, thanks for the great explanations! I recently removed my mercruiser 3.0 l LX engine from my boat, and rebuilt the engine. I have also removed the stern drive, and am currently preparing to replace the gimbal bearing, bellows, and water tube on the transom assembly. My question is this: Should I replace the gimbal bearing and then install the engine, and then align the engine to the new gimbal bearing, or should I install the engine prior to replacing the gimbal bearing, align the engine to the old gimbal bearing, and then replace the gimbal bearing? I hope that question made sense. Thanks for the advice!
