    Cone Clutch or Coupler...

    2016 Searay 270 SD w/bravo 3. 210 hrs on boat. Boat ran great last time out, July 4th. Today we take it out and as I throttle up, it would not get on plain. Rpm's jump to 4k but would only go about 10mph. There was no rubber smell or weird vibrations. No shifting issues. Props were clear...

    Trim stuck! Please help!

    I have a 2004 Sundeck with a Mercruiser 350 Bravo3. My trim gauge has been not accurate for some time now. It would eventually “catch up” when the trim changed to up or down. However. Now the trim isn’t working! It’s gotten stuck “up” a couple of times and with a lot of murmurs under the...

    Bravo III shifting issues

    I’ve read through a couple posts but haven’t seen my specific problem. With engine running, throttle lever shifts easily when button pushed in to disengage lower end. While trying to shift into gear however, I have to force it out of neutral. It takes a good amount of effort to do so and makes...

    Sundancer 300 Cavitation?

    Set up is 2004 Sundancer 300. Twin 5.0 MPI's, Bravo III outdrives and 22 degree dual props. Boat seems to have a cavitation issue. The boat is under powered in my opinion with the 5.0's and certainly with more than 4 adults, full fuel, etc. Has always had a difficult time getting on plane...

    Bravo iii corrosion

    I’ve been keeping my eye out for a sundancer 240 and have looked at a number of them. I just looked at a 2006 that’s been on freshwater it’s entire life. I was surprised to see a good amount of corrosion on the fin and exit shaft part of the outdrive. It seems as though it sat in a slip and...

    Bravo 3 outdrive looking shady

    So year two of owning a 1995 250 DA 5.7 with a Bravo 3... and there’s the problem. At further inspections it’s come to my attention that someone painted the outdrive with copper paint and doesn’t have the correct amount of anodes. I assumed this was a pre 2003 bravo3 but after further inspection...

    Was looking at replacing Bravo III sterndrive

    I was looking on the internet to find information about Bravo III. I came across a company that offers remanufactured Bravo III. The thing that I have a question about is what is the difference between a Bravo III and a Bravo III 2006 & up. The company wants more money for the 2006 & up.

    Outdrive Trailer Up Switch problem

    My trim up/down switches function properly for both outdrives. However, when I use the Trailer Up switch, ONLY the port drive raises up, the starboard drive does not move at all. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Thank you for any advice/help.
