Default Outdrive Issue

I have a 2002 358, it has Bravo 1 XRs on it. The problem I'm having is, the left drive seems to be Pressurizing the reservoir and dumping all the drive oil into the bottom of the boat.
Any suggestions !!

Sorry I can't be of much help with your issue but you will get a lot more help in the outdrives section of OSO......lots of very experienced guys willing to help over there..... And since you have the same size and year boat as me, what power are you running?

I'm running 575 SCI's. The top ends have just been redone, had a few things done. We are guessing around 625hp right now.

Make sure the vent in the reservoir cap isn't clogged

nice.....I am guessing that's you on the Sonic group on FB......keep us posted on your numbers....I am slso running 575sci's that I rebuilt two seasons ago.....kept everything basicly stock so we are guessing about 550hp-560hp at the prop.....I had my props tweaked a little bit by BBlades this winter and on my 1st run this year I hit a top speed of 84mph....best I have seen so far and i feel like she may have had more but I ran out of room.........nice looking boat by the way.........Good Luck!!!
