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.

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!
