    Volvo 280 outdrive, shift cable bellows?

    I have recently purchased a 1985 bayliner ciera with a volvo aq260a engine and 280 outdrive. My outdrive does not have a shift cable bellows. I will be putting it in the water in the next month or so. If it does need a shift cable bellows, that would be bad. Thanks in advance for any help.
