You need to pull the panels off the sides of the thingypit lockers, probably the port side as the engine controls and possibly the water heater will restrict access on the stbd side. Access still requires a lot of Boat Yoga but you can get at the aft end of the transmission to undue the coupling and hopefully slide off the bellows. You'll have to work quickly in the flow of water that will be coming in while you are changing the bellows. If it was me would only attempt it on the hard or in the slings of a Travel Lift.
