I recently changed out the shaft bearing on my 85' bayliner, ( AQ125A, 270outdrive ), when I got everything apart my bellhousing was pretty chewed up so I replaced the bellhousing with a used one, after getting everything put back together and completely installed I realized that the bellhousing I put in didn't have the rubber o-ring (big rubber seal on the outside of the bellhousing )on it, can I run the boat this way or do I need to pull it all back out and put the o-ring in ?
