Is this just a matter of everything needing to break in and ill just have to keep an eye on it and tighten it up as I go?

Also the outdrives, they do move freely with resistance, but it almost feels like "sandy" resistance, again is that just a matter of things needing to break in? ie. the washers on the outdrives pressed against the ball bearings?

thanks! Ive never built one from scratch before, so I dont want ot make any wrong assumptions
Make sure all the bearings are pressed in the case. I had one bearing that didn't get pressed all the way in and it bound the transmission.
