    While I do think Merc parts are way over priced, they are quality SEI has been making parts for Merc for some time and have a better warranty then Merc. Many have bought drives and had good luck. Have not ever tried or looked at their bellows kit, but might be worth a shot at $90...

    volvo penta parts

    Ebay and Amazon is a crap shoot, can get real OEM parts and other not so much. I've bought from those guys and got good parts, but also have gotten aftermarket. The good thing is if you can prove their aftermarket you can be refunded.
