The rubber transom boot for the steering arm on my boat had a hole in it and I got the replacement from Edson. I thought it would be straightforward to put it back the way it came out-- mounted on the outside of the transom and then the center pushed back on the steering arm inside the transom. After looking at other threads, I see a picture with the boot not folded back but sticking out covering the steering arm.

It seems that is the better way to install because the hole I had in the boot was at the crease where the boot folded back into the transom.

I would appreciate any advice on the correct way to install the new boot.

It is priced like all things Edson. From Edson customer service: "The boot # 960-B-446 @ $46.00 is the one and only and it is available." You can see it on page 68 of the Edson catalog.

Also, the Tech person I talked to at Edson said to use marine silicone sealer around the boot. The stuff that is there now is not like any marine silicone sealer I have used.

I am also about to replace my boot on my 2005 WK. Pictures would be great! Anyone have any ideas on how to make the expensive thing last longer?
