Re: Bravo question

What year was the unit you removed? Some Alpha holes are already right for a Bravo, some need a couple of holes drilled at the top and the earlier ones need quite a bit of rework...

Re: Bravo question

IF the previous engine was an Alpha 2002, then the Bravo should bolt straight in...

Depends on the engine, usually 4800 is enough.. My engine does 5100 with the 17" prop and 4800 with a 19" prop....

Nope,...

It should seal Just Fine with a new gasket,+ a Clean Smooth surface....
