I just got this boat and the people that sold it didnt know anything about it. I am new to all this and just now trying to figure out what is what.....

Does anyone know if that is a Bravo 1 XR? If not what is it? One of the drives does not come up, so I need to figure out why and find parts for it.

Thank you in advance.

What year is the boat? It's probably just a regular Bravo given the vintage of the motors.

Regardless, all the drive/trim parts are the same for ALL of the Bravo setups unless it has ITS (which that setup does not).

My guess is it's a solenoid on the trim pump in side the engine compartment, but it could be something else in the trim system; wiring, pump, lines, actuators, etc. etc.

LOOKS like a regular Bravo drive, if you look on the front and sides of the drive, you should be able to find a serial or part number

Thank you for the quick replies.

The boat is a 2001 Advantage Victory 32ft.

The back of the drive says : OL874837
The side of the drive says : OL473621

Does that mean the lower section was replaced?

Check out those two sites above. You should be able to figure out what the drive is with those S/Ns.

HOWEVER, they could have different components IN the drive. But the S/Ns are a great place to start.

Looks like it falls in the middle of this pack:

Serial number OL874837 is a 2000 MERCRUISER HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAVO TRANSOM ASSEMBLY, Model number 6511002N1.

Serial number OL473621 is a 1999 MERCRUISER PERFORMANCE DRIVE BRAVO 1 1.50:1, Model number 5C31200LS. Notice your water pick up is only at the nose cone area of the drive and not on the sides of the lower unit.

Here is a link to your parts for your set up, The link will cover both serial numbers above.

Great, thanks guys. Your help is much appreciated. I am gonna rip into it and see whats wrong.

What happens when you try to raise the drive? Pump runs, doesn't run, etc. Could be a lose wire, bad solenoid, bad pump, bad rams, hyd leak in the line, give us some more info.

I will check it out and post tomorrow. Thank you.

Any help with SN#OK092486,(off flame arrestor) no sticker SN. Drive ratio or Hi Per? 1997 271 Formula Fastech HP500. Did not mean to hijack, other threads are asking same questions. I'm reading that Fastech's came with 1.65 only? I've been told mine is a 1.5 based off SN. ????
