    To be clear, grease goes on the inside of the bellows where the nose of the drive goes into.

    Building a '93 Caravelle 1750 Classic Bowrider

    On the bellows where the nose of the drive presses against it...that is grease only...no adhesive. There is also no way the bellows lifted from the lip by tilting the drive. The nose of the drive keeps it in place.

    Time to replace tires?

    LOL...you are wrong. They are not a franchise. I wouldn't let Walmart even look at my tires let alone mount and balance them.

    Trailer tires(ST) do have to meet DOT standards hence the reason they have the DOT marking on the tire!

    Time to replace tires?

    LOL...you are thinking about GY Marathons. GY Endurance was introduced late 2017 or early 2018 and are made in the USA. Marathons used to be made in the USA but their quality went down once they started making them in China.

    Time to replace tires?

    They are the best around. Best prices...free flat repair even if you didn't buy your tire there. And I was wrong...they recommend replacing tires after 6 years and won't service them if they are older than 10.

    Time to replace tires?

    They still have a finite life. Discount tire won't touch any that are over 6 years old. For most applications, you can't find an auto tire that has enough load capacity especially considering you need to de-rate an auto tire for trailer application.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Remind me again which DC to DC converter you have? As we discussed beginning of 2024, I bought the Victron 50A XS model. It has been outstanding and you can program in any current you want as well as the voltage it kicks in at which likely would solve your idle issues.
