trs rubber boot question
On my TRS drive, it has the rubber boot that is outside the engine compartment covering the drive shaft. Is this suppose to have a small slit at the bottom to allow water to get out? I don't think so, but when doing an inspection saw that it had a small slit at the bottom.
thanks,
jon

After getting off line with work I went out and pulled the outdrive.
Bellow is damaged as stated above. No drive oil or tranny oil in the bellow. So that looked promising.
Carrage bearing is shot (rear bearing in the tranny tailstock), so replacing that.
O ring/metal gasket for outdrive oil transfer (can someone tell me the name of this so I can order) is on it's way out the door. If you look at the bell housing in my mercruiser manual they call it a "o" Ring.
the yokes are good, still have grease on them.
I noticed when taking the trim cylinders off if I touched my screw driver from the cylinder to the outdrive I could produce a little spark. I am certain this is not good as well. Any ideas?
