What is the best way (least $$) to go from a 1.36:1 Bravo with side water only P/U to 1.5:1 with low water P/U? Nose cone is not an option.

what are you trying to do? get rid of the 1.36 or change to LWP?

You have two options, Not sure which one is cheaper. Change the gears out in the top half and get a lower with the lwp or go with a complete new unit. The gear ratio is done in the top.

First priority is LWP. A distant second is switch to 1.5:1 gears but just in case they might be accomplished together at a reasonable cost they are combined in the wish list. A drive trade plus $$ is also of interest.

Does a side water pickup Bravo with 1.36:1 gears have any value at all for trade to a Bravo with 1.5:1 gears and low water pickup?

IMO, you would be best off $$ wise to buy a good used 1.5 LWP drive and sell your 1.36 SWP drive.

That is what I am thinking. Any idea what the going price is for a a good used Bravo with LWPU and 1.5:1 gears?
