Why would you wnat to ruin your boating fun by always wondering if it might be leaking? An why risk a big money repair. Suck it up and spend the time to re-do it.

I would R&R the drive/bellows.<br /><br />The good side is....you're "experienced" now in the replacement! It will go a little quicker than before. <br /><br />A little pain now is better than a LOT of pain later!<br /><br /><br />Cheers, <br /><br />Rick<br /> <br /><br /><br />
