My mechanic (who is also a good friend) noticed a wear and tear on the drive bellows for my 2005 Vista 298. He is not a Volvo mechanic but can get someone certified to replace the part should we be able to locate them nearby first thing tommorrow. The drives are the OSI Series duo prop.
Apparently the plastic ties to the hoses rub against the below when the drive is up (which I do whenever I anchor in shallow water to check the props.) It is clear that some water got in but the boat was running fine during last use.
Has anyone had this issue. If the drive is regreased, should it be OK. The boat was docked in brackish water if that has any bearing.
