Hi,
I started the 4.3 and the exhaust is not coming out of the prop, is that normal? I can hear it coming from the transom area. it sounds good but I don't think this is normal. Of course I always submerge my drive into the water before running the engine.

Hi,
I took a look at my outdrive and noticed that one of the three bellows is broken. It's the small on for the shift cable. The two larger ones look fine on both sides. I moved them and squeesed them with my hand and didn't see any cracks. I would like to know if there is a way to replace (for...

Hello,
I have a 1965 Glaspar with an AQ100 outdrive and a B18 engine. Yes, this is a classic. I have another '60s Glaspar that I bought for $100 for parts. I needed the prop and the only other one I could find for my boat was $135. So I have a spare AQ100 outdrive. The problem is I started to...
