Post Longtail Shaft question
Is it normal for the grease to come out at the bearing where the motor is connected to the shaft? It seems like everytime i drive the boat and come back to the landing and check where the camo covers the joint there, theres always grease leaking there. is that normal? It looks like the grease is spitting out when its turning because its all over the camo sheet cover.

Alot of grease or a little? We usually see some grease but not much, almost like some residual left on the zerk from greasing the
u-joint...

Mine always has a good size glob sitting in there and its just got bigger over the years. I never pay it much mind just pump a couple shots of grease in their every couple of trips.
