I'm ordering in parts to replace my torn bellows. Going to be doing gimbal, water hose and inspect spider u-joints.

I see so many kits for other models that include a gasket and some rubber seals but looking at the transom shield parts list I'm not really seeing anything listed other then a "transom seal kit" for $180+ that has way more then I need...plus not distinguishable gasket.

Is there even a gasket between the upper drive housing and the tan some shield?

We will not be pulling it apart until Monday and I'd like to get the parts ordered ahead of time...knowing I'm replacing about everything so I got a baseline on what is new in there.

thx.

The only seals that need replacing when pulling the drive and replacing those parts mentioned is number 88 and the O-rings for the drain plug, overflow port, and dipstick. As preventative maintenance, you may want to replace 13, 14, & 15 as these can crack and create air leaks into the raw water system. If you're pulling the pivot housing to replace the bellows and gimbal bearing (makes it easier), replacing the #87 bushings is also a good idea.
