Need an opinion on something. When I bought my boat last year, it didn't have the exhaust bellows or the shift cable bellows. But, inside the cabin the previous owner left an exhaust bellows that looks like it's never been used. Again, this is from November 2013. This exhaust bellows has never been installed (that I can tell), seems very flexible and doesn't looks like it has any cracks or such in it. I even filled it up with water after putting it vertical on a glass plate - didn't see any leaks. Opinions - still a good bellows? It hasn't been exposed to the elements.
Offhand, the u-joint bellows is still attached to the gimbel ring. I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to remove it and see if it's still good. Or play it safe and buy a new one. The shift cable bellows will definitely be replaced with new.
