HONEY, PLEASE STOP THAT BELLOWING

HONEY....YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND...OUR BOAT IS SINKING!!!!

The recent very cold weather in North Texas not only likely cracked a lot of heads, manifolds and/or engine blocks...but it very well could have cracked the bellows in your boat's outdrive...especially if the outdrive was stored in the upright position thus putting a lot of stress on possibly worn rubber exhaust and/or shift cable bellows. 

Most mechanics suggest that bellows be inspected annually and replaced every two years.  Some websites noted replace every three years or three seasons.  Either way....

WHAT WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CHANGED YOUR BELLOWS?????
