It would be a great video except to was way to zoomed in to see half the video. 😢

Great video man, I have a drive stuck in gear and now I know I can just open the back up and move that shift lever so that I can get the cable off. It won't release allowing me to remove the drive. I too have kids all the time in my videos. lol

Nice!! what Prop size and combination are you using??

Do you have measurements for this?

Where are you guys

Before you put the bellow back in did you slip the bellow on the first or second groove

I don't think you should be putting it into gear

Looks like the west side of Utah Lake

That's awesome! I had a 77 with a 302, and it didn't do that at all! So smooth, good job, captain

Very smooth

Amazing boat but throw that roll bar tower in the dumpster

Nice. Always sound good without the silent blunder. Where'd you get the steps on the trailer tongue?

Impressive! Clean! WOW!

Boat looks in amazing condition!

The Slimer conversion to the GM power plant was excellent. Thing goes like a dart, and parts are available for future needs. Too bad Ford jumped out of the Marine market. Thank you for all of the help with this conversion Eric. Fun project. Lots of late nights, but great conversations and friendship.

Works is also acidic..read the label

White vinegar.

Iron out, works great.

I used star brite hull cleaner, it’s almost instant. It was worth the $15. But good to know this works too

Iron Out sprinkled on a damp sponge works too. Wipes stains right off. Nice Formula BTW, I had a 272 SR-1 for many years!

For sale?

What motor in it?

My detent ball is not fixed/ crimped into the sleeve. I noticed both of your ball are still in the sleeve. Is this any issue?

is it shifting better now?

Thank you! After breaking 2 shift cables I found your video and fixed it.

Just curious of your setup?! Im currently looking at a 97 252br with a 454, what is your average cruising speed and top speed with that boat? And does it handle the chop well?

Mines stiff but ball pushes in fine but when I refit it, it seems stiff. I’m wondering if it’s been over greased as it was packed with grease. I’m thinking it might only need lightly oiled ?

Does the shifter boot/ bellow keep water out of the cavity? It does not attach to the housing. I am having water somehow get into my detent ball area and then I can't shift the boat. I resealed the cover and drive with gasket maker with no luck.

Good video, thanks!

Is this brass elbow fitting for a newer bravo setup ? Mine is plastic with multiple seal rings on it

I love that boat

Great informational video, thank you!

Warm housing with blow lamp dont force them bolts .Even boiling water will help

FYI... Your gear lube connector looks MUCH easier than mine (which I think is like most) which is why you hear that it's really difficult. Mine (shown here www.amazon.com/HamornySTR-Mercruiser-Fitting-22-861150T02-fitting-Supersedes/dp/B08628Z7SF ) has an e-clip which is very difficult to get to. Love the video... not too many out there on the gear lube (I've looked!) that's like mine! Thanks!

What is the correct way to fill the Bravo 3 outdrive? Some people tell me to fill from bottom until you fill up the reservoir in the boat, and others say to fill just until you're fluid is coming out of the vent plug... Which way is the correct way? Lol

Do you know if the Alpha and Bravo Bellows are the same? I know with SEI and the china copies say they are but I'm not sure about the actual Mercury/Quicksilver branded ones. My dad has one and wanted to make sure before I started tearing mine apart.

Where did you get the parts and tool kit? Thanks

Awesome!
