Neil, I've been ignoring mine, but, I know that it is noisy. I can hear the bearings grinding away using the screwdriver trick..I try to put the least amount of belt tension that keeps it from slipping to keep it going a little longer.
Since the rest of the motor is in decent working order, I am gonna yank mine this winter maybe (time for a raw water impeller anyway) and check the bearings and and at least do the oil modification that Don Moyer recommends..or send mine in and get a rebuilt one that is already done..
Here is a tech tip from Don Moyer on the subject. --> http://www.moyermarine.com/access_repair.htm
