I have a 07 Monterey 250CR with the Volvo 5.7L GI-f motor, Penta dual prop out drive. I have about 170 hours on the clock with no issues. My boat is stored on a trailer.
I am going to have the out drive taken off the boat in April and have the bellows replaced and everything a quick look over just to keep problems to a minimum. I have heard of many people with sudden problems with the poor quality of the rubber used by Penta. How much should I expect to pay for this to be done properly? My boat's shop rate is $90.00/hr. What questions should I ask? Is there any other parts that Volvo Penta is known to use the lowest possible bidder for? Any insight would be great. Thank you.
