Bravo Drive
 
I am such a rookie, but what is the proper maintenance for a Bravo drive, oil maintenance, which zerk fittings to pump grease in and what kind and when to grease. Also any preflight examinations. That sort of thing.


Thanks Again!

I'm a rookie too, but here is what I have learned.
At least annually (I do this during winterization):
Grease all fittings. Do not forget the engine couplings (2) behind the block. They are a real ***** to get at, but I have heard of them (engine coupler) going bad. Bump the engine to get at them. Also, (I guess) the drive should be removed to grease the u-joint.
Change drive oil
Replace zinc fittings as required. If boat is kept in water, I would do this once a year.
Remove prop during winter storage.
Touch up with paint as required.

Get the maintenance manual - it tells you exactly what needs to be done.
