hey Guys, James here.
Not my Donzi, but figured it might help others and I know your guys know the answer. On my 1998 Sun Tracker party barge 27' with the 3.0 inboard with the Alpha One Gen Two outdrive I am having trouble. She needed some love so we pulled her backward onto shore since I do not have a trailer for it to do the service work. Replaced the water pump, all new gaskets and o-rings etc and all of the bellows. The problem we are having is with the exhaust Bellows. Installed it four times now, but it keeps coming off. Tried with glue, with out glue, clamping the next day after glue dries etc. As soon as we lift the drive it slips off. Getting frustrated cause it is a PITA. especially working in a water filled hole on the beach. I watched some YouTube videos of guys installing it. Thinking of trying to pre stretch it by boiling it in hot water, and some make shift jig to stretch it over night?
Anyway, any help is appreciated.
Thanks
James
