Grease fittings for a 75 Volvo outdrive?
« on: September 12, 2019, 05:58:01 PM »
All my mercruisers had grease fitting for steering and gimbal bearing.. I’m wondering where the gimbal bearing fitting is on my Volvo?  I’ve found the steering ones and there has to be one for the gimbal, but I just can’t find it.  Is it on the inside of the engine compartment on the transom?  Any help?

There isn't one for the Volvo. Sometimes there are two bearings supporting the drive shaft within the housing, sometimes just one - depends on which housing was used.
