Bravo XR to IMCO SCX Conversion
 
OK Guys,

Here is my current setup, Merc 600SCI staggered with Stellings extension Boxes, Bravo one XR with shorty lowers running 34 pitch Maximus props that have been tweaked by Hering. All this on the back of Donzi 38ZR

Changing uppers to IMCO SCX with helmet change and oil resevoir change, keeping Merc Shorty lowers.

Any surprises I should look for doing this changeover?

Thanks for your help.

You need the special coupler to connect the SC lower to the SCX upper clutch shaft. The newer style of shift cable helps also. It has a steel end on the center cable that stops the flexing of the old style one.
Other than that.. you should be good!
Enjoy the peace of mind of the SCX!!
And Happy New Year!
Dick

will this new style cable work with a Bravo 1? My cable has a few bends in it where it enters the drive. Whenever I pull the drive I have to straighten it out again.

Yes it is the replacement for the old style. I dont think the flexible one is available any more.. Fits all Bravos as far as I know.

Same exact thing happens with a BMax. I wonder if it's the same design.....

Do you have a part number, I'd like to replace mine during my spring maintenance?
