TomC, If you remove the drive, a shockingly easy thing to do, the bellows are very easy to inspect. It's a great time to check the gimbal bearing, remove some excess grease, and check the engine alignment, as well.
I would not sweat a bad exhaust bellows, that won't sink the boat. My Bravo 3 does not even have an exhaust bellows, just an open-ended boot.
