Hi,
Has anyone had any experience having their Mercruiser Gimbal Bell Housing or Gimbal Ring repaired ? I need the repair done to my gimbal bell housing and want some input.
There seems to be a few repair shops that specialize in this work and I would like to know if this fix REALLY does do the trick and for how long.
Any recommendations on shops ?
By doing this repair I can save about $ 300 bucks. I’m not cheap but I like saving money, but I don’t want to deal with repair twice.
Thx

NO way a repair on cast aluminum will only move next to the weld.heads,intakes,oil pans valve covers ok something that might kill you if it breaks - is that worth 300??
