I have bravo-itis on my 1998 Bravo three. Looks like all the photos on the internet with 100% blockage. The mechanic that was supposed to install the kit to fix it broke one of the kit's bolts in my transom assembly while pushing the plastic ring in.... $400 repair has turned into a potentially $4000 new transom assembly. We've come to an agreement and I've opted to find a used transom assembly instead of make that investment.
The problem is I don't know what a good water inlet is supposed to look like. Attached is the transom assembly I'm looking at for $850. Off a trailered deck boat. It is completely clear and smooth with a hard plastic ring inside. I assume this is what crushes in bravo-itis. Or is this plastic ring the fix that was put in and I should buy it today?
