Drive Unit Bellows
WARNING!
Secure the drive unit in a raised position in such a way
that it cannot fall when working on the drive bellows. A
falling drive may cause serious injury.
Check that there are no splits or damage to the bel-
•
lows. Replace bellows as necessary.
Keep the surfaces clean; fouling on the bellows may
puncture them.
• Inspect the inside of the bellows for signs of contact
with the universal joint when the drive is removed.
Internal wear is a sign that the engine has be run at
too high rpm with the sterndrive in an inclined posi-
tion.
• Check that the clamps are correctly installed.
