Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Does the lower have to come off? to get the upper assembly out.

[@Natebawl]

Did we figure out if the lower has to be removed to inspect the upper housing and clutch assembly?

[@AnthonyMyers1]

Do you know the process to mate the double upper bearings to the u joint gear? I cannot find any information on this.

[@marksanderson8431]

Have you ever seen any internal damage? Like from bravo 3 overheating? I’m having trouble reaching max speed at wot rpm. Had the boat in to the shop and they replaced the fuel pumps. Got it back same thing. When I type numbers in a prop slip calculator I’m getting 22%. I was advised my out drive is overheating and it needs to be looked at. 2003 cobalt 226 with 496 running 28p props

Yes the next time we get a Bravo 3 needing the prop shaft seals replaced we will video that job.

[@ricanboy657]

Performance Product Technologies any prop shaft seal replacement yet, I'll love to see it.

[@dannyrusso8279]

When re-assembling can the timing marks be aligned by looking from the front, instead of the rear cover? Also, is the yoke assembly supposed to just slide back into the carrier? Mine seems it might need the help of a good sized rubber mallet.

[@bolo78910]

realy want to get this boat going, let me kno thanks

[@PerfprotechMarineProducts]

+lanze wilson Typically repairs are handled by local authorized dealers. We are located in Oklahoma so I doubt it would be feasible to have the work done here.
