Changing bellows on 290 outdrive while on boat?

[smithgun2009]

In the Adults only site there was a reply on May 2nd, 2009, 11:46 AM by Don S. "Oracle" about changing bellows on these units without removing entire drive from boat. Just wanted to make sure it did cover the "SP" and 290 models. Also can u-joint be changed this way. I did look at profile for Oracle and know he is qualified to answer these questions if anyone is! (My thanks to you, Sir) Would you have the part numbers for the bellows, exhuast and driveline and the water inlet and two outlet hoses that dump overboard(are these tattle tales like an outboard uses so you can know you are getting water when flushing or are they cooling water exits? Can the exhaust and water inlet line be changed in this manner?
thanks,
jas


slow but still moving!!

Once you pull the upper gear box, you can get to the ujoints. If you look just above your post, and click on Volvo parts, you will find all the parts break downs of your engine and outdrive. You will find the bellows under the "Connecting components" section of your engine or drive.
