They mean the cutouts must face forward towards the bow. Don't believe it.
The bearing doesn't care which way the cut outs face.

I am installing a new gimbal bearing in my alpha one outdrive. The
manual says that the cutouts in the bearing must face foreward. This may
sound stupid but do they mean towards the front of the boat (ie the bow?).

Thanks in advance!
