Great video!!! Thank you for posting. I used this video today for removing my Bravo 3 X outdrive. It was very easy like the video shows. Greetings from Norway :)
ok, so. when you put the drive back together, how about the shifting cable. so when u just slide the drive back there the shifting cable will lock in place or you have to push the pin back down ? (the pin that was holding it when you were trying the to take drive out).
@pismo10 i'm not following by drive are you talking about the lower unit if so yes it does take a gasket did he not show this in the vid i can't remember but it does take a gasked were the lower unit bolts to the bell housing by them 6 bolts
@pismo10 the ujoint bellow thats the big rubber hose u see when he looks at the gimble bearing it clamps on both ends one end over the gimble bearing housing and the other over the end of the lower unit by the ujoint
Seals on the shaft, also water passage, oil passage, shifter passage. I still don't see what keeps the sea water out of the u-joint area/gimbal bearing area. There is no large gasket that surrounds the whole perimeter like on the Alphas. Hmm...

Turns out there is no large perimeter gasket. The seal is between the drive and the u-joint bellows and is internal, out of sight when assembled.

@oney135 That will keep water out from the sides but not the aft end where the drive bolts on with no gasket.

I noticed the trim limit pin is positioned forward, but in the manual for Bravo 3 it says to position it aft, what is correct or does it matter?

How often do you have to get this done?
