Pull the engine if you have access to a lift,,,,, its not that big of a deal and one less hole in the back of your boat

When u say one hole your talking about the one that's is the outdrive right? Yah I could rent a lift and I'm thinking one full day to unleash everything next day pull. Next two three days to repair and other things while engine is out. Think I can lift it out with my gil exhaust on. Does the drive shaft just pull out?

I did the JR kits on both of my Bravos.. Came out good and steering is tight, my gimbal ring was not worn that bad, so I didn't need to rebuild.

You have to take apart the ring and then tell them what you need. the cover plate kit you order first which is around $60 and rent the wrench kit to take apart. follow instructions exactly. then send in the ring with your parts list and they will ship one right back. I used the ebay swivel SS pin and worked well. just remember to lube the u bolt. And don't break the drive lube fitting. I would order 2 water hose bushings just in case. his wrenches are a little tight and I ground mine down a little more and kept them as I seem to be doing several of them.

JR Marine sells everything, bushings, seals, bellows, etc. Anything you need they sell. I actually bought new trim sending units from them for both drives, I am not going to use them so if you need those I will make you a deal. This is the electrical senders on the sides of the steering ring that control your trim gauges.
