Time for new bellows
Had some time to get the V ready for the season so I changed oil and filter, spark plugs, fuel filter and gave it checkup. Got a complete water pump kit and replaced it, usually change the impeller every other year. Soaked the impeller in Marvel Mystery oil as Spare said. Checked the 170 Mercruiser over good and started it up. Raised the outdrive up and boom, the exhaust bellows popped a little hole in it. Ordered a complete kit from Ebasicpower, hope it will be in by Tuesday. Got a few days off this week to get it done. I replaced it way back it 2006 so its lasted way past its life expectancy. Its warming up fast here and Im ready to get it wet!
