Default gimbal bearing or universal joint failure?

Is there any way to tell the difference between gimbal bearing or universal
joint failure. At the end of last season my boat (1984 bayliner,305, volvo
280) started to vibrate when I made turns hard to port or starboard or even
when in the slip at low rpm it still had the vibrations when I turned the
wheel hard one way or the other.At top speed going straight it was smooth as
silk.I appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks, Dugb
