Yep 30. It seems like it is not enough, but you are threading into the aluminum housing and can strip it out. Bad deal

top cap specs

don't mean to rain on anyone's parade here, but the torque spec on the bravo top cap is NOT 30 ft lbs!!!!!!!

Merc book is I think 18 to 22 ft lbs - I can will double check if anyone is serious about this (I've got the service manual - just not here).

The book says 20 ft/lbs.
That is the Mercruiser Service Manual #11.

Thanks for the correction guy's. I thought I remembered correctly from last year, but I should have looked at the manual.
Sorry for the bad info.

Thanks guys for all the input. We all will remember 20 +/- 2lbs
