    bravo 3 gimball bearing

    Any idea what I should use to re-seal the outdrive to the gimball/u-joint bellows. It leaked and that is why I am replacing the bearing and U-joints!! :( :( <br />Apparently it just relies on a squash fit to the bellows ( no gasket). Anybody help?

    bravo 3 props

    Is anyone aware of anybody supplying aftermarket props for Bravo 3 drives? I always used to carry a spare prop with my old alpha drive but I am not so sure that i want to shell out for Genuine Merc Parts for a spare wheel(s). Even poly might be ok to get me home. <br /><br />Thanks in advance...

    optimax gell batteries

    I am in the process of winterizing. i have a two battery setup with Optimax marine gell cells. The manufacturer says they can handle the cold weather. Anyone have evidence to the contrary? should I leave them in the boat as suggested? It is a lot of work to get them out. :rolleyes:
