    cell phones

    I noticed a slight oil leak on the impeller shaft. I bought all the o-ring, gaskets and seal. I removed the seal from the adapter plate and know I'm second guessing myself as to which way it goes back in. I'm looking at the manuel and am 95% sure as to which way it goes. Its that 5% thats...

    exhaust bellows

    1987 omc cobra 4.3 <br />The replacement exhaust bellows has holes cut into it. I didn't notice it til I got home. 1) Is this a better setup. 2) Do the holes face down, I presume. Seems kind of silly that I'm replacing it because it had a few hairline cracks and the new one has a bunch of cut holes
