Yes and no. Depending on the type of outdrive, the year, etc, some bellows are bigger or smaller than others. Just do a common sense inspection...look at the rubber... is it old and dry rotted? Faded, flat black with a dirty look/feel to it instead of new and shiney? And visable holes? Any visable cracks?
A quick test (but by all means not 100% accurate) is have someone with a powerful flashlight stand inside the boat and shine the light all around on the inside of the bellows while you stand outside. If you can see any light peeking thru then it has a hole... just common sense stuff. Nothing special.
