    Took the boat out today and set her in the water and it did not start. It didn't even try to start with starting fluid..No fire.

    Bellows Replacement - Volvo 275D

    I need to replace my drive bellows on my Volvo 275D outdrive. I've read here in an older post that totally removing the drive is not necessary. I was able to replace my exhaust bellows from underneath without much problem. Is there a way to remove the upper housing to access this drive...
