I have a OMC Cobra outdrive I'm trying to reinstall and having a difficult time getting it back in. I have the alignment tool and it slides in easily..I have owned the boat since new ( 1995) and removed & reinstalled the drive without problems in the past. This is the first time I have had issues with the install.. I have searched the forums and see that installing a new bellows helps. Are there any other tricks other than patience..??:confused:

My question is this .... I Have a new gasket set for the install but there never was a paper one on there before...so, I'm reluctant to install it.

I am replacing the water jacket "O" ring

What do you folks do??

Thanks for the replies..
