Thank you for all feed back. I've gone ahead and ordered an OEM Bravo 3 in 2.20 Ratio. Be about 3 weeks to the shop here. Mechanic is heading on an Westcoast tuna fishing trip right when eta on drive...lol ..June is shot for an already way to short boating season. I did install the "celery"...

Im correcting my errors on previous post. I actually have 20 pitch 3 blade props..my mechanic confirmed the pitch ..my memory is sharp..but darn short..

Been a while since I've visited site... We managed a complete season with perfect weather and calm waters, boat ran flawlessley. Back onto trailer today and now prepping for the long nap. One project I need to do over winter is replace the wiper motor, it has stopped working. Are there any...

Wow..great project.. if you ever visit the Shuswap I'll hire you to install One in my boat...or not..we'll just go fishing..:)

I have to replace my transducer and am wondering What angle of deadrise the 02 - SD260 hull is at location of the factory through hull ( 10 inches right of centerline ) I recall reading somewhere it is 21 deg. But I can't find that info. I Need to order correct transducer.. thanks for any help.

Just wondering what the deadrise angle of the SD260 hull is at the point where the transducer thru hull is located. ( 12 inches starboard of centerline ) boat is in the water so I can't get angle. Had a thief steal my gps/ sounder and a new one is Chirp capable but old transducer is an Armir...

Yes Thorton, that's what I thought also..

Been a while since I updated my B3 outdrive issues. The saga continues.. I picked up the B3 from the shop June 20th. Told upper was rebuilt, both upper and lower where flushed and pressure tested and ready to go.."drive it like you stoled it" shop owner says.. I get it installed and it RUNS &...

Just wondering how to safely rig a temporary Remote start switch on engine in order to bump Motor over? So I can do a gimble to engine coupler alighnment.

After removing and taking the reman upper and lower B3 back to the shop I bought it from last week. I got a call from them late friday. Mechanic says the input shaft bearing is worn and input shaft seal Is bad. This, he says is causing the rattle from out drive when changing drive angles, trim...

I have been speaking with the company who rebuilt the drive, under the warranty, they offered to replace the u joints with new greasable units, meaning I will be pulling drive and transporting it to thier shop.. When drive is off, I will roll the engine over by hand to see if alignment shaft...

Interesting possibility, in answer to your question, No, I did not check that, how does one do the coupler runout check? the alignment tool showed even and symmetrical markings from the coupler splines in the grease that I applied to it when checking the alignment of the new gimble bearing...

I have put up a youtube video of the sound my rebuilt Bravo 3 out drive is now making, the gimble bearing is brand new, the engine / alignment was checked before install and shows to specs. The noise only occurs if helm is to port or starboard from centered helm, noise is totally gone if drive...

Clarification, I did replace with new oem gimble and seal.. Alignment looked as good as the YouTube videos I had watched re alignment Of gimble to engine..going out again tomorrow and will try different trims again.. I also remember the rear trim cylinder bolt adjustment insert, I have it in...

Thanks for the idea LazyD, I've not done upholstery before but may tackle some changes that could work.

I forgot to say, I have run motor for 1 hour since my launch. At different throttle positions in gear up to full throttle cruising with trim set at 1/ 2 on gauge while maneuvering boat at different helm positions and there is no rattle...but any trim position below 1/2 on gauge and even with a...
