Bravo one siezed????
 

I have a bravo one that seized. I was going at like 3000 rpms and the motor just locked up. Would not start. I felt the prop and it moved really hard. So i took of the out drive off and ujoints look good but cannot move the shaft. Lots of filings in the oil and the prop can be turned but the shaft cannot be moved. What do you think this is and how do i fix??? THanks in advance!!!

Its time to take it apart and look at it from the inside. Sounds like you need a full rebuild. Hopefully the cases are still ok.

mmmmmmm......my tv broke I know Ill take it apart.....my a/c broke I know Ill take it apart......my computer broke I know ILL take it apart........


I am so tired of people bringing me drives in boxes and saying " I thought I could fix it" then wondering why I charge them for the missing or scored/ f*cked up parts



Take it to someone that regualy works on your type of drive/ boat.....ie dont take a XR drive to a bayliner dealer as they probobly have never seen straight cut gears before



Checkmate,

before you tell someone to open it up find out who you are talking to and are they exp enough or you open up a really big can of worms for them......granted you dont have to deal with it but they will

not trying to be mean

Open the top cap and take a look - now put the cap back on and take it to someone that can fix it. All removing the top would do is possibly show damage in the top. Without the tools, manual, parts and a good mechanical background, you will not be able to fix it yourself. This is one thing I would definitely leave to someone that has experience.
