O-ring istallation procedures
When installing the 3 O-rings on a Bravo lower unit (oil ,water, shift I think ,orange o-ring) Should you use Bellows adhesive on both sides before mating lower to upper?

No. You glue the O-rings to the drive only. The compression of the rings against the bellhousing is what makes the seal.

Oops! didn't read your question as closely as I should have. I thought you were speaking of the O-rings that adhere to the upper portion of the drive between the drive and bellhousing that seal the shift linkage, gear lube feed, water inlet, etc.
