exhaust bellow clamp

[rinkerj]

my clamp on the exhaust bellow is scraping on the pivit point located on the bell housing leaving a grove in the metal. Is there a certain location the clamp should be? the clamp is centered on the bottom. It almost seems the drive is lowering to far but I kinda doubt that.I don't know much about this matter. Please help!...... mercruiser alpha one lx 1996 model exhaust boot

Re: exhaust bellow clamp

if you can put it where it wont rub that will be fine.

Put it where it says in the manual. there are more reasons than just rubbing. Some clamps can be broken and cut a new bellows when put in the wrong place.

BUT, since we have no clue what you are working on, don't expect any exact answers.

If I had a manual I would'nt be on here just asking a question, as to where it should be located. I am no mechanic and am not trying to be. I had it installed by bass pro shops two years ago the clamp just started rubbing yesterday. I am just wondering if they put the clamp on at the wrong spot. the clamp is not broken.

Re: exhaust bellow clamp

the screw on the clamp should be on top where you can access it through the hole on the gimbal housing on the port side.
