All that work and the customer had you put that beat up old prop back on! Great detail on the video. Hope I never have to do this or have it done.

I’m looking at replacing mine after the season is over, I’m nervous I’m going to screw up the shifter cable some how in the engine bay! For now my bellow is super glued because I discovered a tear in it…. Ran fine today on the lake!

@NYAG 2 күн бұрын

Should do just fine.! Would take quite a bit to mess up the shift cable.

@@NYAG oh cool! And no joke superglued my bellows shut hahaha

Hey, if it works. Beats having to replace them. I'd just keep a very close eye. Could be a bad day

Yep ima just leave with the leak. Just hoping it's not the drive bellow leaking. Nice video!

Thanks! yes, it definitely takes some time to replace. Make sure to keep your bilge pump goin.

Transom will begin to rot ruining the boat if they leak for long....

Good job! You made it look easy. How long did it take ?

@NYAG 2 ай бұрын

Thank you. Total hrs was probably about 10-11hrs realisticly maybe a little more. Some are easier than others, it definitely was a pain trying to seat that last Bellow.

How did you tighten the ujoint bellow clamp on the bell housing side

@NYAG Ай бұрын

Small screw driver. Think that one was the most painful to do...

5/16 hose clamps

@NYAG Ай бұрын

Yes sir, do believe that's the standard. 👍

@portagepete1 23 күн бұрын

I ended up drilling holes through the aluminium to get to the hose clamps. I would like to see a video of how they put these together in the factory, Watch out for all the China shit bellows they sell on line they are only good for about 3 years. The oem ones last over 15 years.

@chrisjones3038 Ай бұрын

There is no way to reach that oil fitting. So should I just replace the shift cable Bellow? And maybe the exhaust Bellow.

@portagepete1 23 күн бұрын

Change them All or you will have to go back and do the whole job over again in a year or two.

Good video but mine is a 1969 mercruiser and I'm In a bit of trouble as one of the Hydraulic blocks for the rams is leaking. Terribly and I cannot get to it, nor do I know if that block is even replaceable

@NYAG 18 күн бұрын

Thank you! Should be able to replace seal. Some I believe you may have to have a specialty tool.

@josephmonnens 18 күн бұрын

@NYAG it actually leaking out of the block that the lines attach to I believe it is the low pressure return to the pump as it has both the rubber lines off the rams attached to it the threads for one of them lines has pulled right out of the block so now I can't attach the line at all and I don't know how that block comes out I detached both lines and the block is firmly attached yet i don't wanna just twist on it as I don't wanna coz a bigger issue

@NYAG 18 күн бұрын

Like the threads or a O ring leaking.

@josephmonnens 18 күн бұрын

@NYAG it's the threads coz it was leaking so I tried to tighten them but it didn't stop leaking just pulled all the threads out the block

@josephmonnens 18 күн бұрын

My set up is the style were the holding tank for the Hydraulics is part of the pump body and the only thing the hydraulics do is raise or lower the prop into the water

@chrisjones3038 Ай бұрын

Excellent video But what if I cannot get to my oil fitting inside the boat to pull the clamps? I have a two thousand and 3 four Winns freedom 180 And my engine is in a tight little hole. Should I still remove the bellhousing?

@NYAG Ай бұрын

Thanks! Are you needing to replace the oil fitting? I only had to for the customer, cause it broke. If you gotta remove the bellows, then yes. It makes it a bit easier, especially for the shift cable bellow (feeding cable).

@chrisjones3038 Ай бұрын

No I don't have to change the oil fitting but it looks like it has to be detached to pull the helmet out. Am I correct

@chrisjones3038 Ай бұрын

Also, thanks for replying to me. This is the first time anyone's ever replied LO. LI did subscribe and I will be watching all of your videos, LOL.

@chrisjones3038 Ай бұрын

Someone also told me that I can just simply cut the oil line and I guess. Spice it on the outside of the transom.

@NYAG Ай бұрын

Correct, no point in removing if you dont need to. that's what I would do, Is cut the line and put a new one. A new one is only like 2 or 3 bucks at most. Thank you, sir, for the support!! I appreciate it. And glad I could help.

Don't mind the troll. They are to busy trying to figure out how the earth isn't a sphere.. this drive work is giant pain in @$$ to do. U did fine, and recorded it very well.

@geekinatx8176 you ARE being critical but without actually providing any criticism. If you are going to take the time to leave a comment like this, at least give some of the BIG points that you allegedly see as being "wrong" or you lack any credibility whatsoever. Lots of armchair / keyboard mechanics out there so unless you provide some specifics, everyone seeing this will view you as one. Put up, or shut up.
