Hello all, over the winter I took my SX/DP outdrive off blasted it and refinished it. Tonight I reinstalled it on the boat. I didnt put the exhaust bellow in until after I mounted the drive. So I have no way of installing the snap ring for the exhaust bellow. I installed it without the snap ring and it seems pretty secure even at full tilt. Now my question is has anyone ever run the exhaust bellow without the snap ring? I really dont want to pull it back off. But I will if need be. Thanks for any help Mike

Run it like that. If it comes loose.just remove it. Till you can get the time.

Thank you. That is kind of what I was thinking. I just wanted to make sure that it didn't absolutely have to be there. I plan on pulling it at the end of the summer so I will make sure it goes in then.
