bad bellows?

[rinkerman]

I have a 2001 rinker 232 with a 350 efi and a bravo 3. It has been in storage for the last two years. When I started it up water was pouring into the bilge.It looks like it is coming from somewhere near the starter area. Could this be bad bellows? How difficult is it too remove the drive unit to check it out?

Welcome to iboats.......
Water pouring into the bilge is not bad bellows......
That sounds like a blown core plug or hose from improper winterization....
You will need to get inthere wih a flashlight & mirror to see where it is coming from.....​

If I have a bad freeze plug at the back of the motor, does the motor have to be pulled to replace it?
