This is on a 05 Mud Buddy hyperdrive. The long bolt that holds the motor horizontally to the swivel plate is moving when I turn the motor. The grease fitting will not allow any grease in. I think the previous owner didn't grease ths thing at all. It looks like to me that the bolt shouldn't be moving at all when I turn the motor left and right. The swivel plate should move around the bolt without the bolt moving left and right correct ? I have sprayed it with a good bit of PB blaster and tried to break the bolt loose with a cheater bar and a section of pipe with no luck. I got the bottom nut off fine and left it at the end of the threads and tired to tap it with a hammer with no luck. Any tips to get this thing broke free ? |

Look at it close, mine is about that same year model and the 'bolt' is actually welded in place at the top. It should spin with the motor. |

it is welded to the bottom of the motor plate. there is no bearing in it .it and the nut will turn ,as the motor turns.if u take the nut off u can pick the motor and all straight up and it will come out leaving the mounting bracket and trim on the boat .watch the trim wires . |
