Hey all, I picked up a 1990 bravo 1 upper unit for a $100 last night. Overall it seems to be in pretty good shape. I tore it down to inspect gears, bearings and cone clutch. I have attached a picture of the cone clutch and was just wondering if any of the experts can tell by the picture if the...
Is there a such thing as a bellhousing that PDS bearings are non serviceable? I have been searching all over this bellhousing and cannot find a zerk or a screw plug anywhere. Did they make some like this? And if so, does anyone have a metod of getting grease in?
Changing the u-joint bellows on my 1992 volvo dp-c, and when I loosened the clamp and broke the seal, about a full cup of water poured out. I know I will have to replace the u-joints, but not sure about the gimbal bearing or how to even check it on this drive. Any thoughts?
Ok, after reading manual #11 for setting the preload on the double bearing pack on the drive shaft, I tightened the nut down to where the washer barely touches the pinion gear, but my problem is that the rubber O ring wont allow the assembly to slide into the houseing so I can set the rolling...
Hello all, I had to replace the drive shaft assembly in my 1996 Bravo II. I took the pinion gear and bearing pack assembly from the old shaft and put it on the new one. I followed the manual for re-assembly and its say's the spacer between the bearings should move freely. My question is, should...
Hello all, I am looking to purchase outdrive tools to re- build a bravo 1. would like to know what tools are nesassary for complete disassemble and assemble.
Hi all, just wondering if there are any tricks to changing the shift cable on this drive. Got it routed and hooked up fine, but it won't go into reverse full throtle, its like the cable don't have enough through. which way should the prop spin freely with the drive in forward gear?
Hello, my buddy and I looked at a 1996 Maxum 2700scr the other day. He was pretty serious on buying this boat until I noticed that the out drives had the same rotation. Is that normal?
Thank You
Hi all,
I was out boating this weekend cruising along when my starboard engine just quit. I noticed when I opened the engine hatch that there was a black oily substance leaking from the fuel pump. I pulled the fuel pump which is mounted to the sea water pump and noticed that the little cam...
Hi all,
Just got done replacing bellows, u-joints, and gimbal bearing on a 1996 bravo 1 . When I re-installed the drive it went on and left about a 1 inch gap between the drive and bell housing. I slowly wrenched on the six nuts to cinch it up. Now I am wondering if I have damaged the drive...
Hello all,
I am a fairly savy boat mechanic, but just came across an issue I have never delt with before. My brother just purchased a 1996 sea ray 300 dancer with twin 5.7 V drives. He got a pretty good deal, only $19000, but both engine blocks were cracked. So we decided to build two 383's...
