HI ALL I NEED A LITTLE HELP I

HI ALL I NEED A LITTLE HELP I HAVE A 1989 STINGRAY WITH A MERC CRUSER I/O I HAVE HAD A SLOW LEAK COMEING FROM THE BELLOWS AREA I LOOKED AT ALL THE BELLOWS AND THE SHIFT CABLE CLAMP ON THE SMALL END OF THE SHIFT CABLE IS MISSING. WOULD THAT CAUSE A SMALL LEAK. I PUT THE BOAT IN FOR A PRE TEST RIDE AND THERE WAS NO WATER COMING IN. WHEN YOU PUT THE CLAMP ON THE SMALL END HOW TIGHT SHOULD THAT CLAMP BE. ALSO IF THE UJOINT BELLOWS WAS LEAKING WOULD THE WATER COME IN FASTER AND SOONER . THANKS FOR THE HELP
 
"THE SMALL END OF THE SHIF

"THE SMALL END OF THE SHIFT CABLE IS MISSING. WOULD THAT CAUSE A SMALL LEAK." Yes

"HOW TIGHT SHOULD THAT CLAMP BE." Until it seals w/o deformation of the bellow.

"IF THE UJOINT BELLOWS WAS LEAKING WOULD THE WATER COME IN FASTER AND SOONER." Depending upon the tear it could quickly sink the boat.
