    New style volvo bellows

    Personally, they are an improvement. On the old style, if you accidently started the engine in the full up position, there was a possibility of the bellows getting cut by the u-joints since there was some "squish" to the bellows. Not with the new design.

My understanding is that Volvo stopped using them years ago since they were such a major PITA and wouldn't work if the trim sender started failing which is pretty common. I believe they were...

    New style volvo bellows

    Last bellows I put in were the new style. I was impressed with them and would put them in again if I ever have a Volvo again. I change bellows every 5 years just like DonS always recommended.

    Neighbor that hasn't returned tools

    Buy new bits and never ever loan him anything again. The reason he hasn't given them back is he either doesn't have them anymore or can't find them.

    Pontoons - Growth from being slipped...what is it?

    My pontoon has the identical deposits. I just live with it. I have tried acid and other chemicals. If I ever really want it off, it will have to be with a sander. Mine is moored in Big Bear Lake from April through October, but previously, it was in Havasu which is where it got most of it.

    Volvo Penta 4.3 GL-A Cutting Out After Idling
