Are you using the steel outdrives or the plastic? I have noticed that if you try to overtighten the steel outdrives, it causes the spool to baloon and puts undue pressure on the bearing. Loosen them up a little and see if the problem goes away. If it does, then just make sure that they are snug enough to operate effectively but not bind the drivetrain.
