Bravo clutch failure? Worn out?
 
Friend lost forward and reverse on a Bravo. Helped dissassemble and see no broken parts. There is heavy wearing on the clutch and also on the brass rings on the gears. Teeth look great and see no other issues. I see CP makes a replacement brass ring for the gear sets. Is this the answer along with a new clutch.

Thanks

Both directions at once ?....that's usually not a clutch issue.

I had a vertical shaft break underneath the pinion bearing race on the vertical shaft....everything looked OK til you pressed off the race


How's the coupler ?

I had a lower cable break inside the gimble,

Spin the splines out of the drive hub?

Hubs good

Put new drive on and it works fine

Completely tore the drive down. All shafts are intact. It's perplexing

If the drive was hard to extract out of the gimbal at least you may have a cause if you end up finding a bad coupler.losing forward and reverse one day out of blue and fixing it with a clutch kit sounds like a long shot to me
Can always clamp down the prop on the seperated lower, vise grip your vert shaft and map your gameplan from there.

Slow to text while watching the tv i am . Do have enough clutches and other parts to be interested in the fate of the old drive for sure
