Coupler on fly wheel, Don S.? What's this?

[steinjo]

I'm having what I believe is a prop slippage problem in a '96 Baja with a 454 Magnum Bravo One.<br /><br />I've searched the posts but have not been able to confirm that this is my problem.<br /><br />Occassionaly when I'm coming out of the hole the rpm's increase perfectly fine but the boat crawls until I back off of the throttle and try it again. It's as if it were a car spinning on ice.<br /><br />I think that I may have smelled burnt rubber as Don S. mentioned but am not sure. <br /><br />This has happened once in a while for the past few years. Ususally when I have a loaded down boat. (A bunch of fat chicks!)<br /><br />Thoughts?

My thought is to meet a few more skinny "chicks."<br />

if your coupler was gone it would be GONE<br /><br />a bravo drive does have a cone clutch which could SLIP<br /><br /><br />tommays

If you have a coupler, that's what you're sniffin, but most late Bravo's have clutch's, which still slip under torque. Could be some grease in the clutch burning to give you the smell. Maybe someone with a little more savvy on Bravo's will chime in.
