Make sure when you redo the bellows and gimble housings to replace the water feed hose from the transom plate to the bell, check for Bravo disease, especially if they have been used in salt water.

I'll be completely rebuilding the gible housings and the outdrives! What's Bravo disease? Corrosion you mean? There's corrosion everywhere haha.

Shift cable boots on those?

Yes. I think. The rubber boot up next to the bellows, right?
This is my 1st adventure with an I/O

Bravo Disease is when the aluminum around the water hose on the transom housing corrodes and closes off the water flow to the engine. It'll have enough water for idle but once you hit the throttle, the temperature climbs.

Technically, my wife bought this boat lol. She shook the guys hand. I wanted the scarab sitting next to it. Owner didn’t have the title. The owner did have the title for this one, though. Wife loved it, now look at me go haha.
