This is regarding 3.0L Mercruiser engine and alpha I/O.
Last evening I attempted to grease gimbal bearing and hinge pins. I used the correct greases (I have 4 grease guns loaded with 4 different greases, what a pain!). I did several pumps in each zerk. I did not see old grease return from gimbal bearing. Where is the return located?
On the other hand, I saw old hinge pin grease backing out through seals. Is that normal? Is it not harmful for the seals?
According to the below picture, there should be also a swivel pin zerk. I forgot about it. I need to go back and find one.
