Hi
I have had a mechanic replacing both gear-bellows on my Alpha one, gen 1 sterndrives. I asked him why he doesn't use the Mercruiser crimping clamps and corresponding tool, but he claims that using a plastic strip is what most mechanics do. Anyone knows if this is correct? Will this strip make a waterproof sealing as the clamp will, and will it last a few years?
