Default Bravo One u-joints

Replacing the u-joints n both of my drives and searching for replacements. I ran across a thread awhile ago listing US made high quality replacements, but for the life of me I can’t find it now. Looking for some that are of the hd style, non Chinese junk. Standard B1’s. Merc pt 75832t1.

Persistence paid off, Found the thread.

I am running the Spicer. I got them for $75 installed at fleetpride. Over 100hours at 575hp. No issues.

I decided to play it safe and just ordered the Merc ones. Resealing both drives and decided to go ahead and do the joints while the boat is out of the water. Its a big azz cruiser, so when it goes back in the water this summer, it'll never come back out.
