I didn't think you were gonna get the C-clip end back in without compressing it. Good job! Thanks for the video and the follow-up about which end of the new bellows to attach first.
@@stevetucker8169there are two sets of u-joints just in front of the outdrive that allows it to pivot up and down. Running the outdrive in the range of full down and up to the indicated max up on your trim gauge is fine. Raising the outdrive higher than that is only meant for trailering, not with the engine running. The high trim angle put a lot of stress on the u-joints as you can hear in the video. At worst they can fail. You are at least reducing their service life and will have to replace them sooner than necessary.

Very helpful; just the video I was looking for.
Thank you Sir for the video🙏
Mark, thanks so much for the video!
Very helpful. Thanks.
Totally doable hardest part is securing the c-clip in the boot and sliding it up in compressing it from the outside I've done it twice already
Never, never run the engine with the drive trimmed up! Only when it is down in the normal operating position.
Why?

@@davidschmidt6548, 🙏 I appreciate it!
Thx for the video.
Please don’t run your boat with the drive up. I can hear your u-joints crying from here .
🙏
Can't hear you. Maybe I'll be back.
