Btw, I also grease the tilt gear, but I usually only need to hit it once or twice a season. Essentially I grease anything that moves or has teeth that are not submerged in an oil reservoir.

Are you referring to the ball gears as "spider gears"? Or the tilt gear?

Absolutely not. You can IDLE with the unit partly raised in shallow water (make sure the water pick-up is submerged!), but those spider gears were not designed to run off-axis under load. Likewise, you should grease those spider gears religously. I recommend greasing them (or at least checking them) every time you go out. This is one thing we've been fanatical about and as a result we are still running on the original spider gears (mechanic says they should be good for another 40 years as long as I keep up the maintenance).
