    • Maybe loosen them again and get them spinning easily, then incrementally torque in a criss-cross pattern while making sure they still turn easily.

      Has anyone had any of these codes?  They are active/inactive and go away comeback intermittently within minutes…very strange; I figured O2 sensor but didn’t know pre cat or post cat for the first 2…

    • Ok now I have it all put back together and I can’t turn the shafts without vise grips is that normal? They turned real easy by hand before I torqued them down?

      Ok I am NOT just living with the grinding. I have taken the unit apart and found the culprit. The output shaft main bearing and race have been grinding each other to a fine metal.  After pressing off the bearing and the race I have tracked new ones down and have reinstalled. I am now wondering what the torque is for bolting this vdrive back together. I am just going to use standard torques for a 3/8 bolt and some blue lock tight and call it good. The gears still looked great.  I had to get new seals for the input and output shafts, the last one coming today. Any one know what the torque is for bolting this back together is?  I have pictures of all this but can’t figure out how to attach or add to this post?  
       

      Good work so far.  Torque is normally set by the fastener and material it is made from, so using standard torques from a chart should be just fine.

    • When I replaced the front axle on my 2010 BoatMate I cleaned it, and rattle canned the primer and used some Mercruiser black lower unit paint I had from years earlier. Still looked brand new when I sold it 4 years later. It was stored indoors so I am sure that helped.
