Hi, we recently bought a 1987 FW and need to replace the u-joint, gimbal bearings & boot. Is the boot and the bellow the same thing? Any thoughts on how much this should cost? Any info will help...new to boating! Thanks, RC |

Bellows=boot, how much $$ depends on How well maintained the boat has been, ease of taking everything apart Are you using OE or aftermarket parts (bellows I recommend OE if possible) Regular mechanic or fly by nite guy This is basic work on any sterndrive that needs to be done but checking the bellows each year and removing the drive to grease the u-joints will make the joints+gimble last much much longer. Figure 5 years to replace a bellows if you want to be on the safe side. They can last as long as 10 but that might be pushing it. Check them for cracks each year. |
