Thanks man got the me on the way. The reviews on the one I ordered OEM. Say it’s a harder rubber compound than the old softer ones. Volvo states it supposed to last longer. I also ordered the. Bellow sealant. Iv seen a few links and threads on how to and easiest way to install. But when I’m done I’ll give my own account. On my experience install it

go to the iboats store site, click on the volvo penta link and it takes you to the volvo penta site to get all the parts you need.

make sure to run OEM volvo penta parts

The new bellows are more of a plastic material rather than the old ones that were more rubbery.

Yip I got it. It’s like a kinda hard plastic. It would seem like the hard plastic would dry out and crack sooner. But I guess they know something I don’t lol. Hey do I use the sealant with this one? I ordered some says mercy bellow sealant

On the transom side I use Triple Guard grease to help ensure the inner ridge of the bellow drops into the groove on the gimbal housing. On the pivot housing side I use Permatex Aviation liquid gasket sealant around the pivot housing before pulling the bellows into the pivot housing. You then grease the surfaces of the U-joint assembly and bearing carrier of upper housing with Triple Guard grease before sliding it into the pivot housing and bellows.

Installed the drive bellow today. Took me about 3 hours. And I was messing Around. Resetting trim sender was kind of a booger. But no big deal!
