Nope,.... Not near as much stress on it, like the driveshaft bellows....

It's actually easier to get them on with bellows adheasive. It acts as a lubricate while its still wet.

Goes down where the cable come through the transom shield crosses over top the exhaust Y. It prevents the cable from chafing the cover on the exhaust Y.

Re: Shift cable bellows ?

I'm now at the stage where I'm installing the drive. I have it on now and am draining the oil.

Now I need to adjust the shift cable, which I understood needed to be done with the drive on. I watched Chriss' video on how to adjust the cable and am wondering if I need to remove the upper and start from there or seeing as I never removed is the procedure the same without removing the upper. Am I making any sense? In other words, can I just adjust the lower as described in the video and good to go?

Thanks.....

Videos are good for watching to get an idea of what you are going to do, but if you are going to actually adjust it, follow the manual.
