Forewarned on 1987 Alpha One outdrive service time

[KarstRanger]

I would like to be forewarned before I go check about this work at a couple marine shops here in Atlanta. Should I expect that the following job would take about 4 hours of mechanic's time? I have a pretty good handle on parts costs.<br /><br />I plan on having the following replaced: the three bellows, two hoses, the shift cable, and the trim limit switches and wires. I will get the newer exhaust tube vs. the bellows, also.<br /><br />Thanks !

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your guidance. <br /><br />No saltwater yet, BTW, but that is why I am getting everything shipshape to safely go out to some of the wrecks off the Fla. panhandle.
