if you have a gen 2 alpha, take your time removing the bell housing. that lube monitor fitting on the transom assembly side is delicate plastic. it's not a very expensive part but it can be very difficult to change depending on your access to the c clip inside the boat. it looked easy here but it's not. those fittings used to be made of brass.. great work by the way on a serious pain in the neck job!

my shifter cable Bellows is detached at the outboard end from the end fitting. until i can get it all replaced, can I just zip tie around the bellows to restrict the water flow into the engine bay? other than having to keep running the bilge pump, is there any risk of damage to the shifter cable or other engine parts until I do a replacement of the Bellows?
@NYAG14 күн бұрын
If you can get it back on the lip, a zip tie should temporarily hold. There wouldn't be any damage to the shifter cable that I can think of. Just wouldn't run for long. Don't want the engine bay to get too much water in.

None of my bellows were cracked or leaking but I decided to change them all out to see if I could reveal the source of water in my gear lube. And the subsequent pressurization in the overflow bottle which lead to dumping into the bilge. So I replaced all the orings in the hoses and the bottle which solved the leak but not the water intrusion. So after taking the drive apart I noticed it was missing the seal on the shaft that turns the impeller, changed all the available orings/impeller/carrier seal. Got the bellows off it was full of gear lube. Got everything put back together but buggered the seal so I’m waiting on the tool and seal. I would recommend anyone doing this to not put bellow adhesive on the bell housing side of the drive shaft bellow. It’s a tight fit with the seal and it’s not tough like a stainless bearing race.
