I was wondering what it cost to have the gimble , bellows and alignment checked at a marina. I know prices will vary in areas some but just a general estimate. |

I just paid about $700 to have gimble replaced, bellows replaced and lower unit lubed and checked. Gimble was in okay shape, but told them to replace it as it appeared to be the original one. Tech said it could last another year or two, but since he had the lower unit off, may as well replace it. Bellows had a crack starting, so took care of that as well. I'm pretty handy, but made the admiral happy by having it done by a dealer. |

To just check them, it should not be more than an hr of labor, assuming they can get the drive off without problems. I can have the drive off in 10 min, getting it back on takes a bit longer, and cost wise some drives like a Cobra or Alpha have gaskets that have to be changed whenever you R+R the drive so you have to add the cost of them (not much) to the price of the job. I do mine every year. Bellows are good for 5-7 in my experience, before small cracks start forming, as long as you keep the water out, the gimble and ujoints can last a really long time. I had my gimble replaced in 05 because of a bellows leak then, but the u-joints were OK and are likely to be original to the boat. 24 years old..... |

I was quoted about $1200 to pull my boat, complete the annual service items, and replace the bellows on my Vista. I think the majority of that cost was servicing the out drive. Pac Winn Vista 268 |

couple years ago, I replaced both U-joints, bellows, hydraulic ram bushings, gimbal bearing, and all gaskets / o-rings. All volvo parts, came to just over $400 You can easily double if not triple with labor at a boat shop. |
