Alpha 1 bellows install-gctid348375

[Guest]

Anyone have a suggestion as to the best method to install an exhaust bellow on an Alpha 1 Gen 2? I can get all the other tubes and bellows connected but I am really having a hard time getting the exhaust one on. I connected the bellow to the transom first and trying to connect to the gimbal second, is that right?

Also, do I need to use Bellows glue? I read somewhere that with the newer bellows, the glue is optional.

Exhaust bellows are super easy if you have the tool that holds the bellows in place while you install the clamp: http://www.amazon.com/MERCRUISER-EXH.../dp/B004AQYZ8I

Don't use bellows glue as it's unnecessary and messy - after all, it doesn't matter one bit if the exhaust bellows ever leak.

If your boat is on a trailer I would just trailer it over to a marine shop.

I had a shop attach one for me at no charge.

That is if you don't want to buy the tool.
