Ok, so I finally find a new outdrive for my boat (THANK GOD!!!
). I feel sorry for the guy, he put $2K in the motor and threw a rod, so he is parting his boat out now and giving up (if this doesn't go well, so will I). Anyways, I am flying home tomorrow to pick up the outdrive and throwing it on tomorrow night. My question may sound dumb, but I haven't been anywhere near boats for a month or so now, and can't remember every little detail:
The bellows do not connect to the actual outdrive, they connect to the bell housing, correct? I am purchasing the outdrive gasket set, is there anything else I need to replace the outdrive? My u-joints have only been used all of four times, so I know they are good, however I believe that in this deal I am getting the u-joints as well as the drive shaft.
I am having withdrawals from not boating, so I don't want to get all excited and skip something important. Any advice? Thank you.
