Just bought one, but have yet to use it . It's on a 14-36 war eagle.

They should just be slide on lip seals and bearings. But since your pulling from the prop end, make sure that you don't have a knarled up shaft around the u-joint from the set screw. It could be rough enough that it is catching on the upper bearing. If it is, file it down smooth and try again. Good luck.

Pushes great, still breaking it in. Couldnt find anything nasty to run thru but I was amazed how fast it is. I could not get anyone to go so it was me and the dog with a cooler full of ice and drink.

OK, is this where I ask " do you want speed off the spray, or on the spray?" I mean it was my first time in the boat didnt open up as I was just getting used to it. I didn't have the gps with me.
