- 7.4 Mercruiser w/Bravo III Drive
Long story short. I had a new engine installed and asked my mechanic to make sure stern drive was ok before installing new engine.
We did a sea trial with the new engine and the drive failed.
On the dock we pulled the drive off and smelled a burning odor. Mechanic pulled apart and said upper was fried. He added somehting about the bearing or something could have been torqued wrong by last mechanic...Any thoughts? Words of wisdom? Should the mechanic have known this was a bad drive upon his inspection??? Help!!
