Bellows replace

[soak 'n fused]

Hi all- I have a '79 Searay 240SRV and the left bellows on the outside of the boat is ripped and needs to be replaced. Is this the exhaust bellows?

Welcome to Iboats.
In this forum, we could care less what boat you have, what we need to know is what engine and drive you have. Model numbers as well as serial numbers, make and year are necessary.
On Mercruiser outdrives, the ujoint bellows is above the exhaust bellows and there is a small shift cable bellows to the right of the larger ones.

Which is ripped, upper or lower?

Welcome to iboats......
Top one = bad
Lower one = not bad
Small = Not good, but not too bad........​

Hi again- The motor is a 97 350 Merc 260 HP I believe and as far as serial number I would have to find it. The hose is on the outside of the transom and goes into the lower unit. There is no upper and lower that I can see just one on the left and one on the right.

You have a LOT to learn my friend.
Better start posting some pictures.
Do you have an Alpha or Bravo drive, and trust me, there is an upper and lower unit. You also have 3 bellows no matter which drive you have. But if you are talking about something completely different that isn't really part of the drive, then that is a whole new ball game.
