Bravo 3 leaky bellows

I had a new bellows kit 2 years ago and this year during routine maintenance the gimbal bearing and universal joint are both corroded and need replacing.

Somewhat disappointed with this, call made to MerCruiser (EP Barrus) who said they had several of these failures but didn't have a "fix" for it. Bellows installed by MerCruiser main dealer.

Having a separate discussion about who is going to pay for what....question is does anyone here have a "fix" for this issue????

Have looked on OSO and found a couple of threads...but they're mostly talking about fitting them right in the first place (assume main dealer did this AND EP Barrus have accepted a number of failures have occured).
