Yeah, but 35W coming from the south is bad enough.

I might end up doing that. I noticed this AM that I accidentally ordered the exhaust bellow. I called and asked them to catch it before the order was pulled and hopefully swap but she said there were 400 orders to go thru. I might just leave it and order the drive shaft bellow if she calls me back. I also was looking at the water pump impeller and thinking of replacing that too. Fun stuff!

I would replace them all as long as your there. Water pump rebuild kit too. When I got mine the shift cable bellows had a hole in it which caused the water to leak into the boat...not good! I replaced the shift cable bellow only but that is because that one is on the outside of the out drive and nothing else had to come apart to do it.

Well I am confused about the exhaust bellow. It has holes in it already so not sure how it can be bad. Water flows up thru the exhaust holes already.

If my memory is correct 2.3L was Ford and 3.0L was Chevy for OMC Cobra engines.
