bravo iii

I purchased these from a fellow forum member when I had my 340. They were used when I purchased and I’ve never used them. I had them as a spare since it was much less than the insurance deductible for new props. The props are in great condition, no nicks or dings. With the new boat, it is...

Looking for a good solid marine mechanic that is dependable and reasonable. Knowledge of Mercrusier 350 Mag/ Bravo III stern Drive Any body? P

Guys, I have TWO sets of Bravo III 24P three blade prop sets for sale as mentioned in the title line. They are in really nice shape and IMHO, ready to use. I'm hoping to get $400 for each set, plus shipping, whatever that turns out to be. I think that's fair. They are clean...

Hello All, I m stumped and hoping that some of you can shed some light on an issue that I am having. I took my boat out a couple of weeks ago and ran fine. I did notice that when I started it up at the dock, it seemed a bit sluggish. Sounded like the carb had something in it. In any case, I...

I am trying to diagnose what broke after I hit a small log (2"-3" diameter) on the way home from DC. The boat still runs and drives, just sounds bad at high speeds. I checked the props and there is no visible damage, just a few scuffs from the log. Anything over 10 mph it starts to sound like a...

Ok, so this is part 2 of my Bravo III drive problems! Over the summer I've found water in the bilge (I keep a very clean and dry bilge, so this is noticeable to me) that only occurs when underway. That is, no water enters when docked. On inspection from the ER, there is water (splashed) high...

Over the summer the starboard drive has been slow to drop into forward. The boat has about 320hrs on it. The marina have pulled the drive and inspected the clutch and gears - they provided the following comments: We have taken your stbd drive upper apart. Your STBD gear set is a 32/27 (32...

All, Purchased a 2002 24' Sundancer last fall. The previous owner did not keep the anodes fresh and unfortunately while my surveyor mentioned that the drive need to be refinished, he did not warn me to the extent of issues with these drives when not cared for. My novice $$ training. I pulled...

I have a Bravo III that's stuck in forward gear. Attempts to use throttle only from the control arm at the helm didn't work. The boat still lunges forward. I disconnected both lower and upper shift cables. Upper moves, but the lower is stuck. I removed the drive, and the lower cable moves...

I just bought my first boat, 2003 used 220 Sundeck with 160 hrs, and when we did the water test and for the first couple trips out it was running like a dream (cruising @40mph and maxing out with 5 adults @50mph). Then about two weeks after taking ownership the old girl seems to have a...

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this. First a very brief history. I had a feeling my gimbal was a little weak as it would "grumble" a little bit if I started the engine with the out drive trimmed up but it was a very minute noise. I did some checking and was told that the gimbal...

I've owned my boat for 9 years and in the past month I've experienced something really strange. About a month ago I was returning to my slip and idling down the channel. I was backing into my slip and just shifted both engines in neutral when my starboard engine died. I restarted, but it...

Just picked up a (new to me) 2005 220 Select from a private owner. During the water trial the boat performed flawlessly, but I think I would like for it to come up on plane faster. It has the 350 Mag with a Bravo III out-drive and 28 pitch props. I think I might get the performance I am looking...

I've noticed the rust stains coming from the engines on the transom (see pic). Is this a sign of a problem (i.e. galvanic corrosion), or does it just show that I worry too much and I need to clean the transom more often. I have Twin 5.0 with Bravo III's on a 2004 280 Sundancer. The boat is...
