Bellows

[atmeiners]

I am replacing my bellows on a Alpha One Gen. 2 and i just pulled the gimbal bearing and replaced it last night. I purchased a transom repair kit but I believe they shorted me a hose clamp. I just don't remember if there were two hose clamps on the upper larger bellows. If someone would could let me know thanks.

Re: Bellows

Well, the question you didn't ask is, "Is my Alpha 1 Gen 2 and OUTBOARD?"

No, it isn't. It is an I/O.

I will move this for you.

Good luck.

Ayuh,......

I think the Gen.IIs use a Ring that is pushed in the bellows to hold the transom end....

Re: Bellows

I do have the ring and you believe it goes to the transom end? Thats towards the boat but this picture shows that the ring faces the back of the boat.
