I have a 2005 Formula w/Bravo III's that I'm looking to purchase a drive alignment tool for. The tool from Merc was a little pricey and was looking at or similar. Any thoughts for a DIY'er?

Oso member whoya he all
so sells them on ebay

Actually Sierra has a good alignment tool or use to. I have one from Sierra, I bought many many years ago. It is very heavy and a very high quality piece. I have a lot others as well Including the Merc OEM and the aftermarkets. Some aftermarket are cheap quality.

With that said I can not verify if Sierra Alignment tool is the same quality as per when I bought mine 20 year ago, Possible still worth the buy. I am not a fan of most Sierra products but YES for the Alignment tool I bought 20 years ago. If it is the same I would buy that in a heartbeat. Also I have the installer mandrel that adapts to the alignment tool. U do not have to drill the hole alignment tool either. U slide it on the tool and makes for a super easy install of the GB. Also the GB is aligned as well using the tool. If in fact your alignment is good from the start.

I check on all that if one needs this set up. The tool and install mandrel.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll reach out to whoya and check out the one from Sierra.

FWIW - a machine shop would charge WAY more than the $23 from ebay just in the hourly shop rate to put the bar in the lathe much less cut it down to profile
