Hi! Not very common for Bravo to make clanking noise when engaging... Just one clunk... They are cone clutched... You sure you have Bravo drives?

Hi! Not very common for these to leak at seals or gasket, it is possible to leak on control block, but also very rare... I would check connections on cooler lines, neutral indicator can cause leaks and oil filter cap. But do check that she is leaking... Regards, Goran!

Hello from Croatia! RH means right hand rotation and LH means left hand rotation. First number is diameter, 18 means 18 inch in diameter your prop is making. Second number is pitch, 18,5 means in theory without slippage in one turn she will travel a distance of 18,5 inch. Your props are counter...

Hello from Croatia! You don't have to call anybody look at this, the so called misalignment is normal and has to do with rotation of the props, is it inwards or outwards... However, you can try to open or close them up a little to see if youre handling will improve. Regards, Goran!

Hi! Your engine is model 888, meaning it is small block ford 302 with 2bbl card 302 heads and camshaft with 190 hp... Your outdrive is prealpha, according to year I would say MR. Post a picture of it and we can tell you wich is it. Regards, Goran!

I would rather spend my money in replacing the engine with 4,3 v6 engine... Not much difference in weight, in most cases where 2,5 was you can fit in 4,3, and almost 100 stock hp difference... Just my opinion. Goran

Hello from Croatia!!! Check all again before you order any parts, look to the diagrams again, if this is your problem you will not be able to shut down the engine since this wire is also connected to ecu and ignition coil. This is like a backup that connects directly from the battery to...

I cannot say this for sure, but as I recall big block Ford and big block Chevy did not have the same outdrive... As I remember and this was a long time ago I had problems finding a prop for ford and wanted to borrow one but couldn't install it, the splines were not the same... Goran

Hello from Croatia!! Volvo sx drive bolts right up and is more reliable than omc and also you can use volvo douprop. Even conversion kits are made that you can purchase from volvo, you also have to change the raw water pump. However, King Cobra is very reliable and robust outdrive and it is not...

Hi! Is your engine 454 330 or 370 hp? If 370 (magnum) they use some oil, and in some manuals is advisable to check oil level every hour, the same is with 502 because engine concept is the same (forged pistons, higher tolerances etc.) However, all of these engines, both small and big block can...

Hello from Croatia! You can use 9 to 19% Hydrochloric acid (I always use 19), just be careful, it is very aggressive to aluminum. Also take care not to get it in your eyes etc. Just soak or spray, leave it for couple of minutes and wash with plenty of water. It does not eat plastic or paint...

Hello from Croatia!!! I believe who ever sells you the engine will recommend shaft size and material. Anyway on my 300 weekender With twin 300hp 6bta I have 1 1/4, and on wellcraft twin 315hp 6bta with 1 1/2 shaft. I went to bigger shaft due to length (2,5 meters) not because I thought they...

Hello from Croatia!!! Not many manufacturers give what the pressure should be, but that it should not vary more then 15-20% Your problem is most likely the valve if the reading is correct, but what you need to do first is heat up the engine on operating temperature before measuring. How long...

Hello from Croatia!!! If it was engine or something else, I would say use whatever you like, but when it comes to outdrives and transmissions, I strongly suggest to use only what the manual says. Regards, Goran

Mr geriksen is right here and I would agree with him, unless you have your soul in this boat Goran

This kit does not work here... It is intended for newer omc cobra to volvo sx, the conversion of an old OMC stringer is not so simple... True, omc makes trust trough stringers, and all other outdrives uses transom for that and it needs to be strong and made for that kind of setup. Things get...

Hello from Croatia! It is possible to change from omc to volvo if you have all the parts... You will get some more space in the engine room cause volvo setup is a bit shorter, but I am not sure if it is cost efficient... You will probably need to change cables, steering, work with transom hole...

Hi! Seems you have a carburetor problems... Maybe adjustment of air mixture would help, but my guess is it needs cleaning and float adjustment. If you have black exhaust smoke or you can smell fuel in oil, that is definitely it. Regards, Goran

Hello from Croatia!!! I own 1978 srw 300 with twin Volvo Penta tamd41 200hp with 1:2 ratio volvo HS1 drives 17x21 4 blade props and I get 23 knots cruising with about 60 to 70 l/hour depending on the load... Anybody interested in this setup? Best regards, Goran

Did you lube the shaft correctly? Did you change the o-rings on the shaft with grease? I would try to assemble without o-rings and see what happens, if it slides easily you have problem with them, in that case you can try to tighten with bolts. If you still cannot install (without o-rings)...
