Well bad weekend! Tomorow I make my first claim, I just hope it is done in time for my summer runs, My Bravo1 sounds like a blender and now I am land locked, Hopefully my years of dedication with Donzi will pay off and I will be running once again!

Frank, at this point your 1 year limited Merc warranty should cover it.

Bryan Drive is a part waiting for MerCruisers ok and they will send up the pack, Three gears are gone they are clean breaks, There is no other damage except for the shifter cable that wasn't put in right, She is loaded with water and should be replaced, The boat is home the drive is at Typhoon, Fingers crossed should be running by Friday.

HARDONZI, I must ask????
Why do you think is new? I was told that once then ran the serial #, REMAN....
What was the price???? They only buy remans if they are available, whole drive remans are an easy find. What is the new serial ### ???
If you got new you are in GREAT shape, congrats.

4400.00 was the price,The place that did the work is with our OPBA boat club.He told me it was new,and when u see the drive all shiny mirror paint not a blemish or scratch on it. He told me it was NEW and I can`t see him lieing to me,he would have nothing to gain and alot to lose in the boat club. :D

That is great HARDONZI...
My first Zcare replacement drive from a Donzi dealer was $4525 and it was more for the reman than a new one on line, it too looked like new.
Just for GP call Merc and check the serial.
THEN I didn't know any better, I am a bit wiser now.

Glad it worked out for ya.
Good luck.... Have fun and be safe.
