All,
I have some down time on my hands and I want to rebuild my 1999 Bravo 1.
The drive has been used hard and is evident by the discolored and chipping paint on the upper drive. Also the drive lube monitor bottle expands to the top when running hard indicating the air in the top of the drive is getting hot and expanding more than normal. I also lost 500 RPM on the top end. I am guessing I have a bad bearing but I would like to go through the entire drive and replace common parts that go bad and obviously replace the bad bearing or bearings. I’d like this rebuild to last.
I removed the drive this year and aligned the motor. I also checked the u-joints and greased everything. The gimbal bearing has been replaced also.
I would appreciate any information on what parts and tools I will need.
Thanks,
Taz
