Default B3X drives for 400SS

i'm having problems with one of my Bravo3X drives on my Formula 400SS. I have located a used SeaCore 2.0:1 B3X drive. Can anyone confirm that 2.0:1 is the correct gear ratio for the 400SS? engines are 502 MPI. Thanks....

What does it say on the left side of your drive? Last one I saw with 502MPI's had 1.81's. If you can't read the sticker on the drive, find the serial number on your drive and call merc, they can tell you what you got.

Yes 2.00:1. I have a 2003 400ss with 496ho. Ratio is the same with the 502.

I'm not knocking you, but I've seen them with 502's and 1,81 gears as I wrote in my previous post, so I still think he should check it.
