Hey guys. I took the boat out for the first time yesterday and noticed a lot of water in the bilge. I did not have the drive off for winterization due to having the clutch serviced at the end of last year. Mistake. I did some checking here and found a puncture/tear in the u joint bellows. Took off the lower unit and found a lot of water in the same bellows. My plan is to replace the bellows, u joints, o rings. From looking at it, the water didnt get past the drive shaft o rings but in order to be in the bilge, it would have to had, right? Should I plan on replacing the gimble bearing as well? Anything thing else you would recommend? After replacing the gimble, would the drive unit have to be aligned? Just thinking of tools I have to buy. Thanks again. Oh yeah, the boat is a 2002 Four Winns 210 Horizon with 5.7L Volvo Penta and SX-m outdrive.
