Why do you need to replace it? If there is play side to side in the outdrive, you may just have to retorque the gimbal ring clamping screws to tighten things back up.

That does not sound good. Try these guys they do gimbal ring repair and have a shaft for bravos. Looks like the same part # as the genII and $100 less. http://www.jrmarine.com/products/2000.htm BTW I really like these guys
