I buy complete gimbal housings on e-bay all the time. I take them apart and Clean/refurbish. The point I want to get across is that around 80% of the complete gimbal housings have a problem. For instance I received 4 complete gimbal housings last week and out of the 4, 1 had a cracked bell, 1 had a bad ring and 3 of them had bad plates. Let’s face it people sell there junk on e-bay. And
most
sellers are in it frankly for the money. People advertise the complete gimbal housings as like new, fresh water, bolt and go, nice and tight & excellent condition. Until the unit is taken apart there is no way of knowing what is good or what is bad, And as soon as you start to take it apart it is yours. Paypal will only cover you as long as item has not been touched, as soon as you touch a wrench to the item you accept that item at face value. When you take the item apart and find a bad crack, break or badly corroded part it is to late item is yours. Yes item has to be as described but that is on a visual inspection from the outside. With my items nothing is hidden and you only have to buy the part one time! I hate being ripped off on e-bay with these gimbals so if you decide to buy from someone else here is a couple things to look for on these gimbals. In the picture check and see from a front view if it looks like brown rust color inside the drive shaft bellows this usually means that the unit had a bellows leak and the bell housing or the gimbal plate itself has rotted/deteriorated, also from the back if you see any signs of roughness under what looks like new paint there is a good chance that the seller sprayed it quick to hide the corrosion and that weak spot may go all the way through and sink your boat, of course if the back has not been painted you may see rust or corrosion and that may go all the way through. These are the normal damage area. And there will be a lot of them posted through the spring as people take there bad housings off and try and get as much as they can for them on e-bay.
I have had a lot of questions about outdrives on e-bay. I have bought 5 good outdrives on e-bay that were close to being junk. I would not trust any of them and I ended up selling them for parts. I do not recommend buying outdrives on e-bay. As with gimbals people sell there junk on e-bay. There is also a rash of outdrives being listed as alpha 1 generation 1, and in actuality they are pre alpha outdrives and someone has changed the top cap. So unless you trust your seller don't buy outdrives on e-bay.
I can put these kits together for you for 0 extra but the truth is that it is fairly easy to put it together on the boat and it makes more sense. The way the parts are packaged assembly is semi self explanatory. For instance the trim sensors, trim sensors screws are in a separate zip locked bag. The same thing with the steering shaft, washers, nut and seal. And so on and so forth. This makes this a very easy assembly. When you mount the gimbal plate you will be mounting a 16 pound plate rather than a 50 pound assembled unit. The assembled gimbal has moving parts and it is bulky to try and mount.
I am sure these will not be mounted to a new boat so making sure the plate is flush with the transom is a slight concern. The old fiberglass and wood has a tendency to warp and bulge. With just a plate sliding into place you can make sure that it fits flush. If you try and mount a completely assembled unit or even just the plate to an uneven surface when you tighten it down (Cast Aluminum) you stand a chance of cracking the plate.
The gimbal bearing is easier to replace when the plate is mounted to the boat. You slip a slide hammer in and 2 or 3 whacks and the old bearing is out. Slide hammers are usually a free rental at most auto stores.
Have you ever had a screw clamp you could not get to? When you assemble the gimbal yourself if you ever need to replace a part you will know that you can access all the nuts, bolts, pins and screws because you installed them.
The simple truth is at least with my self, I don’t trust marinas or so called marine tech’s to work on my boat! You always have to second guess what they have done. I mean think about it if you paid some one to do the work you would think it was done perfectly. (Not True) I have heard the stories. One guy told me that he had a new bellows set installed and he got it back and it leaked so he took it back to the marina and they fixed it. It was fine until the next season, (Out Of Warrantee) He took it to another guy and he showed him the drive shaft bellows was punctured with a screwdriver and the marina put a dab of silicone on it to stop the leak temporarily. These things happen all the time. Have you ever hear the expression if you want a job done right, do it yourself! I have paid thousands for faulty workmanship before I learned my lesson,
I offer free phone support if you have any gimbal, pump or ram problems wither you buy your parts from me or not. I have helped a lot of people that have not paid me a dime.
If you are slightly mechanically inclined and have a standard set of tools. Sockets, Wrenches, Pliers and screwdrivers you can do your own gimbal work yourself.
I moved from Florida to Tennessee and started this business .
