I called a few weeks ago about my Tri-toon 4.3 V6 I/O....getting a little water in it.  Enough to kick in the bilge more than normal when it is sitting in the water. My not so expert opinion says it  looks like the bellows may be the cause.  Does that sound right?  Is that something that has to be brought in to fix...if that is it?  It is on a lift year around in Dadeville.  Your guys came this way and winterized it last year.  I don't have a trailer, so that is where I am going.

Thanks for your previous support.  Yes, if the water is coming through the bellows then it needs to be repaired.  It is more than likely getting the gimble bearing wet, and or the shift cable as well.  It will ruin both of those items/parts and cause more problems than you want (if it has not already).  I do have a trailer, however it is being used at the moment, and there is another customer that needs it whom is in line next.  He has an outboard with an issue that should be easy to fix.  See about finding a trailers and letting us take care of that.  Otherwise, I will post when it is available next time.

Respectfully,
Steve
