Alpha 1 exhaust boot

[b.gagnon]

Is it a big job to replace the exhaust boot that goes from the transom to the outdrive on an alpha 1 1987? I am about to buy a boat and noticed that it was cracked in a few spots, but it is so cold here I could not get a good look.

Not a bad job at all. Remove outdrive by pulling 6 nuts and trim cyl. retainer shaft as you would when greasing the U Joints, then the bellows will be open and accesible. Order bellows kit and outdrive gskt kit. Chk exhaust bellows and engine coupler alignment as well.

This I/O question is being moved to I/O and Inboards.<br /><br />I think it will get more attention there.<br /><br />Good luck.
