Hello OSO! Long time lurker, first time poster. First of all, a million thanks to the OSO community for providing noobs like me with a treasure-trove of information.

Now, on to the business at hand. I've been offered two drives with upper serial numbers as follows:

OW230176
OW230622

Any way I can ID what type of uppers these are on the drives? I'm trying to figure out if these are standard Bravo 1's or 1x's. I really appreciate any help in advance!

Mike

Standard

0W230176 5231200R1 MERCRUISER BRAVO 1 1.50:1

You can also tell by looking at the u-joint retainer. The X has as series of holes, the standard is a "castle" style.

Thanks for the quick reply, Marc!

Just so that you are aware, These two drives happen to be Remanufactured drives, Not that it matters that much, Because a Remanufactured drive is pretty much just as good as a new drive.

Serial number OW230176 comes up as a MERCRUISER BRAVO 1 1.50:1 REMAN DRIVE BRAVO 1 1.50:1
Model No: 5231200R1, The Manufacture Date was on 07/27/2005.
