It took a while to find this video on you tube . You have the best video on bellows R&R. You are a real mechanic and don't wear gloves or afraid to get your hands dirty. A lot of good tips and very helpful.Thanks.
Very informational, I replaced the bellows on my volvo penta a couple years ago and it seemed a little easier then that mercruiser. Thanks for the content Ted.
Hello Ted I have stripped the threads trying to get the shift cable out In order to drill and retap what size drill and tap do I need Is the pipe tap straight or tapered Thanks for all your videos
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Do you have any suggestions on where to get parts from. I'm finding a large difference between prices on the bellows kits that include the clamps hoses gimbal bearing ect.
Hello Ted You’re videos are absolutely top notch I saw that while you were installing the gimbal bellows that you attached the bellows to the bell housing first,would that work the same for a gen two Thanks for all videos
Do you need a exhaust bellows at all on this type of Drive does it have to cool the lower end at all where the impeller is or does it not need to have the exhaust go down and out of the prop is water needed in that area at higher speed
The exhaust bellows helps direct the exhaust into the exhaust chamber of the drive and out through the prop. It also quiets down the exhaust noise. without it, you have the chance of exhaust fumes coming up over the transom if the wind is behind you.
I’m in the process of installing new bellows and trim sensors…I’m having a tough time getting the upper second bolt of the bracket out (gen 1) where the sensor wires pass through the transom housing. I can’t get a good purchase with my 7/16 wrench or a socket. Do you have any recommendations on the best:easiest way to get it out??
