Installation Guide

  1. Disconnect the battery and remove the stern drive unit from the boat following manufacturer service procedures.
  2. Remove the old U-joint bellow by loosening and removing the existing hose clamps. Carefully slide the bellow off the U-joint shaft.
  3. Inspect the U-joint assembly, gimbal bearing, and shift cable for wear or damage; replace components if necessary.
  4. Clean the U-joint shaft and bellows mounting surfaces thoroughly to ensure proper sealing.
  5. Apply a light coat of marine grease to the U-joint shaft to ease installation and protect against corrosion.
  6. Slide the new U-joint bellow onto the shaft, ensuring it is fully seated on both ends.
  7. Position the included stainless steel hose clamp over each end of the bellow and tighten securely.
  8. Verify that the bellow is not twisted, kinked, or damaged and that clamps are positioned correctly.
  9. Reinstall the stern drive unit, following torque specifications and alignment procedures per the service manual.
  10. Reconnect the battery and perform a visual inspection for any leaks or misalignment before launching.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this U-joint bellow fits my stern drive?
A: Check the Compatible Engine Models table above and verify your drive model (OMC Cobra 1986-1998, or Volvo Penta SX/DP series). Cross-reference the OEM part numbers on your existing bellow to ensure compatibility.

Q: How often should I replace the U-joint bellow?
A: Inspect the U-joint bellow annually for cracks, tears, or leaks as part of routine maintenance. Replace immediately if any damage is found, or every 3–5 years as preventive maintenance to avoid water intrusion and costly gimbal bearing or U-joint failure.

Q: What are the common signs that my U-joint bellow has failed?
A: Common symptoms include water in the bilge near the stern drive, visible cracks or tears in the bellow, difficulty steering, or unusual noises from the gimbal area. Immediate replacement is necessary if any of these signs appear.

Q: Does this bellow come with installation hardware?
A: Yes, this U-joint bellow includes a stainless steel hose clamp. Ensure you have marine grease and any additional tools required per your stern drive service manual.

The Unsung Heroes of Casual Dining
Style: 100-Pk, Size: 6-Inch
Ah, paper plates, the unsung heroes of casual dining! Whether it's a mountain of greasy burgers or a messy pile of coleslaw, these humble discs of pressed paper pulp stand firm—well, maybe more like a wobbly dance, teetering on the brink of collapse but never quite giving up. They bend, they buckle, but they rarely break. And let's not forget their efficiency: soaking up liquids and grease might seem like a flaw, but who needs napkins when your plate does double duty? Wallet-friendly and hassle-free, paper plates are the champions of cheap dining. For the cost of a latte, you can arm yourself with a stack of plates ready for any impromptu feast. Cleanup is a breeze—just toss the evidence away. In short, paper plates might not be the fanciest dining ware, but they are the unsung champions of convenience. Here's to you, paper plates! May your legacy of casual dining excellence continue for generations to come.

Plates for our anniversary.
Style: 100-Pk, Size: 6-Inch
I needed plates for my anniversary and came across these plates. They were smaller than I expected but they worked out perfectly for us. They are strong and easy to use. They didn't leak or ripped at all. So that's a plus. Great price for the quantity that I received. Definitely recommend them.

Ok but not great
Style: 100-Pk, Size: 6-Inch
Not the thickness I would have expected for the price but do seem to work ok. Very hard to find good quality dessert plates at an affordable price. Probably won’t buy again.

Handy Size, But Flimsy & Not Leak-Proof
Style: 100-Pk, Size: 6-Inch
I actually use these for my cat’s wet food, and while the size is perfect for that, they do have some downsides. What I liked: Great small size for snacks, desserts, or pet food Convenient and disposable Comes in bulk, which is helpful What could be better: Tends to leak through with wet food Plates are somewhat flimsy They stick together, which makes them a little annoying to separate They work fine for lighter or dry items, but with anything moist, you’ll want to be careful or maybe double them up. For my use, they get the job done, just not perfectly. Who this is great for: Light snacks, desserts, or dry foods Quick, disposable use Pet owners for dry food or short-term use Value: Decent for bulk plates, but the quality limits how versatile they are. Final Verdict: Convenient and the right size, but the flimsiness and leaking are something to keep in mind. Best for lighter use.
