Post my lower bearing on my mudbuddy
the bearing behind the ole prop leaks grease. i was testing out the new exhaust with the boat trailered and is it ok that a little grease comes out of the bearing or is the bearing shot

got it figured the play in the bearing in from1/16th to 1/8 inch which that is fine being its a water cooled bearing they tend to heat up and let a little grease out so bearing is good and if the seals are out ill be out only 30 bucks. maybe this will help others out as well

careful with that tiny. i had a bearing go bad on my old 31 sport. that bad bearing ended up scoring the shaft. i had a local dealer just send the lower to mudbuddy to get rebuilt. seals, bearings, shaft and freight totaled right at $500.

I posted pics of re-doing the seal/race on the MB forum.

Like Med said- a cheap fix for that rear seal and race (do both of them at the same time) so you don't loose bearings or your shaft.
