Where is the U-joint, inside the boat or in the water?

What is the type of driving that is hard on the u-joint? I assume drive up???

Some inside some outside. Out of the water unless you bellows are torn...

That is good to know. Bellows are new and pliable.

so what kind of driving is hard on them? I assume with trim up a bunch, lots of turning?

High RPM's with drive all the way up is pretty hard on them, but lack of maintenance (no grease) is probably the main killer of U-joints...
