BUP, the Hardin marine adapter I found, is just to replace the plastic fitting used on the transom assembly, from the factory. This does not help with the "Bravoitis" problem.
Hey, Amarket Owner, is this product still available? I have not received reply, when contacting you through your website.
Thanks!

So it turns out that she actually didnt have bravoitis and i can thank Sean at Amarket.com for saving me a ton of time and $ getting my boat hauled to the shop to pull the outdrives and do the fix. I was advised by a local mechanic that i probably had bravoitis, and the symptoms i read about online were a pretty good match, so i was convinced she had the bravoitis. But a few moments speaking to Sean about it and he advised me it likely wasn't the case. I did purchase other parts from them (which were an excellent deal) and problems all solved now and back on the water. I know who i'm calling first next time i need or can use non OEM parts. Thank Sean!

Also here is the part from CP that I was talking about. as at times this fitting cracks ( Mercruisers).
I am very aware what Amarket has to offer here plus know exactly what they are talking about "Bravoitis". Also Mercruiser came out with a Service Bulletin about this in 1990 and stated it was a bigger problem in saltwater but does happen in freshwater as well.
Below is the link to what CP has.and its a nice piece as well for anyone looking for an upgrade for the water inlet..

not really fond of those aftermarket parts ..the tube that goes thru the transom and connects on the outside is vey small .I ordered 2 of them . threw them in a box somewhere .if anyone else here has ordered them you understand .they are vey small to pass water ..I called and complained got nowhere .I guess they would work on a small block where you don't need a lot of water .as opposed to a bb 575 or a higher output motor

Good point sorry. It was just my water pump. I initially thought i had a bad impeller / housing, only later realizing the seals were blown on the pump itself. In the meantime i was advised by a mechanic that i probably had bravoitis, which seemed to match the symptoms i was experiencing, so i thought the inflow restriction had put a strain on the system causing both the cracked housing and water pump failure. When i explained to Sean that my temps had been higher at idle but came back down once i was moving along, he told me i probably didnt have bravoitis since the reverse should be true. Got the bearings and seals from amarket to rebuild the pump, water pressure is back to normal.
