The stand off box cover the holes. You do not have to re-glass it with the ASD7M. According to the installation instructions for the ASD7M, you have to make the holes a little bigger to fit the transmission. 10 inches wide. Have not done it yet. Still have one more ASD7M to purchase. Waiting on some $$$

Tks for the info guys.

Rik. I am very seriously considering the upgrade but have no idea how the set up would react on the single step DDC 37 A/T. Do you have any input on the application ? I have never seen one set up this way and the factory has never tested one either so I would be first to do so. Thank you

i just did my boat that had never been done before......and have great results....it doesnt matter if you have no steps 1 or 2 steps or even a notched transom,,, you will go faster and you wont break

Man nice nice......

I understand where you are coming from but you are fogetting that a surface drives is a surface drive. Arneson is not the only surface drive made. Its just the easiest to convert from a bravo, at a great value considering all you get, and its strong!

There are A/T's running #6 surface drives, NXT surface drives, etc. Your boat will love it!

It is not that much of a stretch, if you have a good boat to start with the boat will simply be better. If the boat is not a good boat to start with then there is little any out-drive can do to change that. The AT 37 is a good running boat from what I've heard so I have no fear in doing an application on your boat.

I will have Greg get with you Rik. Thank you

Rik,

I see a used set of "ASD #8A'S THE BRONZE MODELS WITH 10" DROP BOXES 1990 MODEL "

for sale. Could this be converterd to replace my Bravo XR?

No, not the same drive at all. Those are not counter rotating either.
