Good to know!!!!! Thinking next time the Bravo 1 blows out, going with a 3 to push the heavy Bird.

Good Luck D&K.

fender, I was saying about not changing upper to this post. I am removing B3 transom assy and running gen 1 alpha setup for this year. and was wondering mainly about steering and shift stuff interchange. sounds like I can leave whole bravo inner in place and install outer alpha. gonna plug the extra 2 holes to protect transom from water. but another thought occurred. do the shorter bravo trim rams work with alpha? or will it pull drive down too far and stress swivel points on gimball ring?

OK Yes you can do that.The bravo trim rams will work.If you have the internal steering ram it will also work.You will need to change the shifter piece on the manifold and go for the alpha with the interrupter switch.JOHN SR

Sorry to jack your thread but wanted to ask if you have any parts to sell from the donor boat? Looking for the "Brazilian" power steering hoses if you have them. And if you need Alpha parts I just performed an Alpha 1 to Bravo swap and have all the Alpha parts (shift interrupter bracket, coupler etc)

power steering hoses cut at transom valve. i have a garage full of alpha stuff, why i am running alpha for the time being. i see any hoses while surfing, i will PM u.
