I read posts about people being able to change the water hose from the outdrive to the transom without having to pull the outdrive. I would like to see that done, the water hose is easy to change, but to change you have to remove the exhaust bellow from the outdrive, there is no way to stretch your exhaust bellow to the flange on the outdrive, and then get it over the flange. Maybe if your exhaust bellow is like a dryer hose, but I could not get a new/good exhaust bellow to stretch to the flange. I just do not see how it could be done without removing outdrive and using an expander tool.
