I have the exhaust bellows glued and clamped to the transom assembly and the U-joint bellows glued and clamped to the bell housing but I cannot get the bellows to seat properly on the transom assembly. Twice, I removed it before the adhesive set and cleaned everything with lacquer thinner. There is about an inch of the circumference that will not seat fully on the starboard side. It was in the low 40's when I was working on it and wonder if that may have had something to do with it.
I am going to try lubing it with some power tune and see if it will go on just to verify that it will seat fully, then clean everything with lacquer thinner and then use bellows adhesive and clamp it into place.
