I recall reading somewhere, about bravo drives over heating, and needing to run a drive shower?? if no shower then you can only run your boat on a plane for a max of 30min, can't recall where I read this or if it was specific to the 1 2 or 3 drive....anyone know if this is true, I never run my 7.4L Bravo1 anywhere close WOT, I'm normally in the 2800-3200 range depending on boat load! but a idle down off a plane every 20-30 min on longer runs because i recalled reading something...I have checked the top drive housing several times while running on a plane with someone else operating, it is above warm feeling, little hot but no where near the point of boiling or causing steam...guess my ? is can I run longer periods with out coming off plane, I have a 90 mile trip planned and I really don't want to keep stopping every 20-30 min
Thanks in advance for any replies
