I just picked up the above boat and have some questions regarding the out-drive gimble bellows. The exhaust bellows is split and upon removing the out-drive I found the drive shaft bellows is full of oil. I did some reading and found that I need to replace the input seal on the lower unit and the bellows.
Here is what I was going to do as preventative maintenance. Let me know if I am missing something please.
1. All 3 Bellows.
2. Lower shift cable
3. Gimble bearing.
4. Water hose.
5. Trim sender. (Trim Gauge does not move from 3/4 up. I am going to run some tests to confirm dead sender.)
6. Water Pump.
The Uni-joints appear OK. No play or corrosion. The move real free compared to the uni-joints new out of the box but that might be normal. Newbie here.
Thanks.
Ray
