One thing I have noticed is that most of the late model Bravos don't have grease fittings on the U Joints. So if your pulling the drive to grease them you might be in for a surprise.

you need to hang over the engine,,look at the rear of the engine and you will see where the drive shafe goes into the coupler,their will either be 2 zurts sticking out the back of the coupler or one zurt if it has the steel hp coupler..may have to rotate the engine to get the grease gun on the zurt.

Thanks! I will have to take a look, the engine compartment in these little outlaws is SO tight, but, I will try and wiggle my fat arse in there to have a look. Is it closer to the backing plate on the transom, or near the "back" of the motor? The boat is 2 hours away right now, so, when I get to it I would like to have an idea of where to look, every 10 mins stuffed into the engine compartment is usually at least 1 Chiropractor appointment, LOL!!

My Bravo is a 1995 model, which is pretty much a "fossil" in todays terms, so, I am guessin' it has some form of grease fitting, but, I could be wrong?

Thanks Guys!

I would say it does also. My '2000 Bravo had them but my '05 does not.

My '05 has no grease fitting on the U-joints.
