Drive Unit Bellows

WARNING! If you work on the drive bellows,
secure the drive unit in a raised position in
such a way that it cannot fall. A falling drive
may cause serious injury.
Check the drive unit bellows for fractures and
deterioration. Barnacle build-up on the bel-
lows may cause punctures; keep the surfaces
clean.
Check tightness of all hose clamps.
Check the drive unit bellows and clamps
monthly or every 50 operating hours. You may
order the bellows separately, or as part of an
accessory kit. The accessory kit also includes
O-rings, oils, washers, seals, and anodes.
Inspect the inside of the bellows for signs of
contact with the u-joint assembly, which indi-
cates the engine was run at an RPM that was
too high while the drive was in the tilted posi-
tion.
Be sure the clamps are installed as shown in
the picture.
NOTICE! When washing the drive unit, do not use a
pressure washer. Using a pressure washer
will damage the water intake hose and the
drive bellows.
