    How much play in the Outdrive?

    Happy Thanksgiving. At the sea trial of our new to us 2000 Sun Dancer 260 5.7, Bravo III the Captain said there was 1-1/2" of play at the drive and that it should be checked. It was checked and the pin was replaced. Still has that 1-1/2" of play at the drive. Is there cause for concern?

    Bravo 2 outdrive corrosion normal? (Images)

    Hey, I bought a sea ray 240 sundancer 2 years ago which has been great, everything has been working great (apart some minor things) and has been a lot of fun. I am pretty new to boats and as this is my second one (first inboard) I am pretty bad at seeing how bad corrosion is and when to worry. I...

    First time owner 2011 sea ray 175 sport general questions

    My first question is in regards to the trim; I took it for the first time to the lake, I lowered the trim but I didn't look at the indicator I wasn't sure how long it will take it to go down (I could have looked and checked but I didn't) but I realize that you can constantly hear the hydraulics...

    I’ll drive/propeller control not working on throttle

    I tried to raise my outdrive/propeller out of the water the other day on my Sundancer 250 and the switch on the throttle is not working. I hear a little clicking down at the outdrive, anybody have any ideas? I heard it is not a fuse or electrical problem, that was from my boat mobile mechanic...

    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...

    92 Sea Ray Sundancer 290 w/7.4 Bravo ll. When taking it out for winterization last yr the marina found a 2-3" crack in the outdrive behind the propeller.

    Strange trim issue...

    Recently purchased my 1995 Sundancer 330. Trim was working fine until I tripped the separate "Trailer Trim" switch. Now, when I try to trim the starboard outdrive, the port moves as well. Only when I trim up. Does not happen when i trim the port outdrive. I pulled the trim switches to see if...

    I am thinking I need a new out drive what do you think?

    Cruising along fine in my 20 ft 91 Sea Ray at about 50-75% throttle and everything is fine. I hear a loud bang. I throttle down quickly. When I put it back into gear engine runs fine but the prop wont spin in forward or reverse. No visible damage to the outdrive and didn't see anything in the...

    WetDeck safe for outdrive?

    I saw an ad for this deck that is basically swim platform material that attaches to the outdrive. As a boat owner that has 4 legged passengers that can't stay out of the water, this seems like a nice addition. I got a load a pup that hooks onto the boarding ladder, but when installed makes the...

    1999 260 Sundancer BLOWN Bravo III Drive UGH.

    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...
