Duo Prop drive - bellows etc

Had brand new DP-E drive two years ago. Bellows all look in very good condition and still seem quite soft.

So the boat will be in for the next two years, am I pushing my luck in not changing them while she’s out of the water.

I think the bellows will be okay, it is the anodes I would worry about! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Drive and exhaust bellows every three years, is what I have been told. And as Alex rightly says - what about the anodes - mine struggle to last a season!
