Bravo II>>> correct gear ratio

[jobie]

Hello, 1994 maxum 2700 scr, single screw 7.4 litre Merc. Boat was purchased with no drive on her. I know it should have a Bravo II drive but have no idea what gear ratio! thank You

Re: Bravo II>>> correct gear ratio

bravo II is more of a commercial drive.......the bravoIII is a dual screw. it may be a bravo I.
if you call the mfgrs......give them the serial # of the hull......they will tell you the exact everything. inclucing the color of the carpet

Re: Bravo II>>> correct gear ratio

I'm guessing it's a 27 ft boat?.....If I had a boat that big, I would want a Bravo III on the back. probably a 2.00:1 ratio.



Regards,


Rick

I can't tell you what the gear ratio of the old drive was, but if you get the serial number from your engine, you should be able to contact either your local certified Mercruiser dealer, or call Mercruiser yourself and find out what the ratio is.
The Bravo II drives were very common on the 24 to 28 foot cruisers, and not just for commercial boats.

Did just that Don, and found that I need a 2.0 gear ratio. Thank You much !!!
