So that model I have the lower unit gets filled from bottom up or from center? Sorry for so many questions. Just use to my Johnson and evenrude outboards. Want to get it back together correctly.
Great. Thank you. I removed old bellows. Clamp was very loose on top one. Also didn’t see any adhesive. Are you suppose to use adhesive when installing them ? There was only grease on top one bearing side! ???
Ok great. Thank you. It’s a 94 model. Do they make a gasket for it? Or is it best to just but them together without anything. Is bellows only way water can get in bildge?
So I pulled the outdrive and there is no seal where it comes apart ! Isn’t there suppose to be one where the 6 bolts are where you take it apart ??? had water in both bellows but don’t see any cracks in bellows .
From what I’ve read up it is suppose to be there like bondo says. It’s a drain tube. Next question is what gear does boat need to be in when removing outdrive???
It’s a 1994 4.3 omc cobra. Very clean engine. Runs great. Just noticed 2nd time out it was getting some water in bottom of boat. Other than that runs great. Was checking on that hose before I pull out drive for bellows
Is this hose suppose to be down here open like this? New to inboard outboards. Here is a picture of where it connects to engine and where it lays under on floor. I’m trying to figure out where I’m getting some water in bildge!
