Installation Guide

  1. Disconnect the battery and remove the stern drive unit from the boat following manufacturer service procedures.

  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.

Low cost watch returned.
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial-2870
I returned this watch the next day after receiving it. It was very attractive and I hope it would work as advertised. The watch came in shrink wrapped plastic that was very tough to removed. I feared damaging the watch. I set it then tried some of its features. The stopwatch worked but it did not reset to the zero position properly. The 24 hour time indicator was off by one hour. The rotating bezel had black lacquer on it that was tender to the touch. A fingernail could have damaged it and a very small nick had already started out of the box. If everything had worked properly I would have kept it for the money spent. I guess you get what you pay for so I am now shopping for a higher quality watch.

Nice watch at a very good price.
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial-2870
Favorite watch in my collection. I wear it every day, and at the price point, if breaks in six months I will buy another just like it.

Best cheap time piece there is
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Blue Dial-2870
I’ve been a chef for years and having a great watch that keeps time as well as it looks classy is a tough ask when you’re exposing said watch to high heat over the range, extreme lows putting away vendor orders in the walk in fridge or freezer (sometimes up to an hour or 2 at a time), getting popped with hot oil and sauces, and doing dishes when our dishwasher is a no show. I do take this off to make seasoned flour for fried chicken or seafood, but it can easily be kept clean and it keeps time EXTREMELY well. I get several compliments on it from other chefs and even the guests at our restaurants both in downtown Charleston and the resort at Kiawah Island. Just don’t bang the face of the watch into a steel prep table (it will chip or scratch). But it is possible to replace the face at a local jeweler, and at any desired quality or price bracket. I own this watch in several colors and have used them for 2 years now. I’ve been very happy with OLEVS all around.

Affordable, comfortable, and practical watch
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Green Dial-2870, Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Green Dial-2870
This watch is very good for its price range, of course this isn’t a Seiko, but what do you expect for under $50. I’m extremely excited about this watch and just finished removing some links for it to fit. That’s the worst part removing the links which is very difficult even with the tool that was supplied. Now, we’ll see how long the watch will last and hold up after everyday being worn. It’s a good looking and comfortable watch that’s inexpensive.
