- 7.4L Mercruiser with Bravo 1 outdrive
I have a 1989 250 DA with a Mercruiser 7.4L with a single Bravo one outdrive. I’m looking to replace my lower unit. My current outdrive is really corroded and was apparently badly neglected by the previous owner and didn’t believe in anodes. I went to replace the anode behind the prop and found that there was no real metal there to attach it to which led to finding a crack as well. My question is, what is the ratio that I'm looking for? I’ve been told that the 350's and 454's are 1.50 and others say it doesn’t matter. My fear is that I buy one, only to find out that it doesn't fit correctly. I’m far from a marine mechanic and need some solid advice from those of you with far more experience than I. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve
