May be some other maintenance items to address with the drive pulled like the Gimbal Bearing. Again, I'm not familiar with Volvo but while it's apart do it all.
Thanks for all the replies. I've done this work before and I do believe Merc bellows are more difficult. My current issue is I've developed some rotator cuff issues and don't feel comfortable doing the work at this time.
The boat is a 2012 Cobalt 210 that i bought in 2017 and I don't have any prior service history on it. It was in pretty good shape when I bought it so I've held off on service. I just think it's time to take care of the more common issues that could cause disasters as Descant described.
I'll also have other items checked while drive is off.
Thanks again everyone,
