I am looking at a 3.0 Volvo Penta Monterey boat. It is an 1.5 hours away and they mentioned their is a hole in the bellows. The sales person seemed clueless, but forthcoming. I know on the Merc 4.3L you have 3 bellows and it looks like there are two for the Volvo Penta. If the exhaust bellow is the one that has the hole in it, is it safe to drive like a Merc?

She took a picture and said the hole in the lower bellows. It is the lower bellows, but the dock rash picture she sent is down to the fibers on two parts. That guy must have hit it hard or left it there 0_o

If you have a SX-M Drive it has 2 bellows . a hole in the Exhaust bellow will not hurt anything .But if its in the Ujoint bellow your boat will take on water .
