We've purchase the hose and the clamps (parts 6 & 7 in the diagram here...

Shift cable bellow has a tear and boat is taking on water. I can't find someone who can repair it before this weekend and we have big boating plans. Someone suggested to us that we put sealant around the outside of the bellow sealing it together and then clamp it.
Thoughts or other ideas...
Oh my goodness. We've had our boat for almost a year so this was our first winter. It's a bow rider with awesome seats... lots of them... for eleven to be exact. We put the snap on cover on the boat and then threw on one of those covers that goes over the boat and ties to the trailer. We...
I've gotten 3 different answers on what part number is appropriate for my gimbal bearing. I'm very confused. First they said I need an 18-2100, then I called back to confirm an they said I need a 18-21005. Then I called somewhere else and they told me there is not aftermarket part that will...
Which Trim Cylinder to Connector Hoses are in the picture? The one on the right is leaking drive oil and is frayed. I find 4 trim hoses for sale for my boat and I'm not sure how I can determine which hose is which. If someone can explain the 2 hoses in the picture (or all 4) it would be...
This is our first year with our new to us boat, so I'm still trying to learn what's normal and what's not. Yesterday was the first time I've ever been right at the back of the boat when we cut the engine (changing tubers) when I noticed a slight oil sheen around the outdrive. It disapated in...
Need to buy a new prop - finally figured out the info off my old one... The only numbers we can make out after scraping off the barnacles are:

Should we buy the...

The fluid in the trim pump reservior is white... what's are next step? It's a Mercruiser 5.0L with a alpha 1 gen 2 drive if that matters...
We've only owned the boat a few months... could it just be the color of whatever fluid the person before us used? If so, how to we empty the...
This weekend the alarm was going off in our boat and we finally narrowed it down to the alarm for water in the bilge. There was a very small amount of water and we figured out when everybody stepped to one side of the boat and made it tilt even the slightest, the water would run to that side...
This weekend we noticed two of the blowers on one side aren't working, the other side is. There are 4 blowers total (2 on each side). What should we check? Is this a big deal? Also, just want to make sure the tubes that connect to the vents.. the other ends just lay loose down below the engine?
We bought a '98 Larson 206 Lxi BR (20' I/O) and we've taken it out 4 times or so. We've noticed that the boat seems to want to pull to the right. I didn't notice this the first time we took it out, but I've noticed it everytime since. We happened to install a second battery (on the same side...
We are about to mount our transducer on the back of the boat and a friend recommend mounting one of those white transducer mounting plates first. So here are my questions...
1. Does anyone else recommend this? If I mount one it will have to be horizontally and the screw holes will still have...
