I have a couple of new ones I will sell for $900 each, but what year are your drives?

mbam my drive is a 1998 bravo1 , i need the upper and lower cases only , what price on both ?

Re: bravo 1 drive gear cases ?
 

We can do the uppers for $971. I hate to bring this up, but how much power are you running? Might be time to consider new upper gears too. You should also give Chris a call and see what he has. I don't have any rebuilt drives at this time, but it might be a better way to go.

mbam (marc) i am running stock 1998 502 efi. remember i'm looking for just to replace the cases(housings) not the gears , i'll use the gears from the original drive just want to transer them over to new shells.

Re: bravo 1 drive gear cases ?
 

Be sure to price the reassembly and setup before commiting to just buying new cases. I had a quote of $400 each just to reassemble my lowers that I had apart. With you considering 2 cases, both needing reassembled, shim kit and new seals, it might pay to buy a complete rebuilt or a slightly used drive.

What he said, it can however make sense if you are doing the work yourself.

Re: bravo 1 drive gear cases ?
 

If you can find someone that can fix a damaged tower in the upper, I'll give you one, you just pay shipping. I don't know if it can be fixed or not. The gears went out and the tower in the upper case was damage. It is from a 1998 boat that was always in fresh water. 608-751-4981

I was allerted of your post by RECKLESS. I have stumbeled upon two new drives, in a box last year after I spent $910 each for gears alone, to rebuild both my drives during the winter and one died 30 - 40 hours later (usage hours) when the new gears were put back in a case that wasn't right from ware to begin wiith. Might have lasted longer had I not screwed with it but it was to go none the less, they were both orig. in my 91 Hawaii.
I will send you a PM

Easier said than done.. all those parts have to be set up right or they wont last long.

that is pretty pricey.. on the labor. I guess I should be charging more??

Mr G.

That's what I thought too! So I did what every other toolmaker would do.......make all the setup tooling and do the reassembly myself. Suprising how easy it really is. I did both of mine. I even found the backlash was way off from the factory on 1 of my lowers. With me being the owner and not assembling the drive as just another 'job to be done', I can say I spent way more time making sure everything was perfect and exact than what I would possibly recieve from a dealership.

Re: bravo 1 drive gear cases ?
 

On the uppers, did you find the driven gears were not equal distant from the centerline of the pinion gear?? Or didnt you get into the uppers?? I spend as much time as it takes to make it right. Like you said, some dont..

Re: bravo 1 drive gear cases ?
 

Just did the lowers only.
