- 350 Mag w/ Alpha I
I've had the 1995 220 BR w/ 350 Mag for less than a season. Slowly finding and correcting all the issues.
Last time out on the water I ended up with a torn shift cable bellows, so it looks like the drive will need to come off. (I've read it is possible to do the shift bellows with the drive on, but the drive bellows is pretty cracked as well, so I want to replace it before it allows water in and does additional damage.) I have the exhaust tube so not really worried about it.
Since I will have the drive off I might as well go ahead and do "everything", but I don't know what that is. I am thinking I would need:
Drive bellows
Shift bellows
Cooling water line
Gear lube reservoir line
Gimbal bearing
Water pump kit
Engine alignment tool
Is there anything else that I should go ahead and do while it is torn down? Gear/clutch/etc inspections? Anything else? Engine/Outdrive have 425 hours and I don't know the last time it was serviced. I've done a good bit forward of the transom, but this is the first time I have been behind it other than for trim pucks.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys can provide.
