It really involves the thrust on the vertical shaft shoving against the top cover of the drive

[QUOTE=dirtlawyer]There isnt a RH or LH bravo, just a bravo. There are LH/RH alpha, TRS and SM drives.

Thank you sir :) :)

Re: Running a LH prop - drive question
 

Mercury has a Bravo part # for RH & LH :eek:

Re: Running a LH prop - drive question
 

Is it the same number :D

Re: Running a LH prop - drive question
 

I just went to mercruiserparts.com and it only shows one number.

If you want to think there are 2, then go ahead. :rolleyes:

I believe that you cant run an outboard gearcase in reverse. That is why they have right and left offshore gearcases. The Bravo can run in either direction and its okay.

Re: Running a LH prop - drive question
 

I called a dealer for a friend TODAY and they needed a part #. The only reason I called, is because we know the family thats owns the dealership, he needed a part # I told him the ratio, he said there are part #'s for RH&LH.... :rolleyes: :eek:

Re: Running a LH prop - drive question
 

Believe what you want to, that there are 2 part numbers, that there are rh and lh gears.

Or you can know the truth. There is no such thing as a LH or RH Bravo drive. There is one Bravo Drive and it can run in RH or LH rotation.

The issue of changing the rotation of a drive after its been run for a while will be a matter of opinion. Chances are if it breaks when you change rotation, it was going to break soon anyway.
