Quick question on Bravo please. twins, ear loading
 
Im spinning out. Drives should be loading in towards the center of the boat correct? I need to set up a new drive for my boat and cant remember which side I put the wear pads on. Old drives, didnt come with the wear pads. Thanks

if your referring to the plastic wear pads on bravos ?? their should be 2 pads 1 on each side of the drive

Not on older drives. they have to be machined to accept the wear pads. I just dont have the time tonight to do both sides. They are olnly loaded on one side depending on prop rotation. I cant get to the boat tonight to look or Id go look.

its an action/reaction . the housing will stress opposite the rotation so that would be the side you want to support or protect.
