Mechanic working on my a4 says the bearing is worn. In his words it's shot. I know he's very overly cautious, and I appreciate that. BUT, I really want to FINALLY get her wet and begin sailing! (she's on jacks currently)
He insures me that if I don't fix it (as I'm inclined to wait until October), the only damage I might incur, is a worn shaft. It won't sink the boat, fall off, etc.
Can anyone weigh in on whether or not I'm crazy to delay this?
I'm betting it won't be the first season she's had a worn bearing.
Understand that I only plan to use the iron horse to get in and out of the marina, and don't mind traveling slowly.
Thanks vikings!
