Once again I waited too long to get my bellows replaced. Gimbal bearing is toast.
I read an article saying the drive should be pulled yearly and bellows changed every 2 years!
Is anyone following this rule? If so , are you replacing the bellows (kit) yourself?
The furthest I have done with merc tools is replace the gimbal bearing. At $1500 for a mid season haul and dealer bellow repair for 1 unit, I am wondering if this is something I can do.... Or rather do it as a 2 year PM.
My boat does not even have exhaust bellows, just an exhaust tube...
