Default Drive coupling replacement cost
Have a 1997 350 mag with a Bravo3 outdrive that has a bad coupling . The boat is a crowline very tight engine compartment.What is a good price to have the coupling changed?

I would expect to pay 400-600$ labor. A local boat shop pulled my original 502 once for me around here when I was swamped with paying work in my own shop and they charged me 175$ to pull it, 250$ to put it back in, Smitty

I would bet you are looking at 8-10hrs labor total plus about $400 for a coupler. Probably about $1500 total.

I agree with Griff, 1500 is realistic because the motor has to come out or at leasted lifted and turned so the bell housing can be removed

10 hours labor is what I was charged to remove and install the motor. $85/hour, ugh...

Pismo10, have you ever looked at a crownline? It took me about 4-5 hour to replace mine, but I would bet my brothers 23ft crown would take 10 hours.

Must be tight in there because if you have even modest space to spin the motor some it is a fairly easy job.
