    Lost All Steering on Bravo 3 Outdrive

    Well, after this job I still have quite a bit of slop in my outdrive. I KNOW it isn't the gimbal ring or steering pin and I have been led down the path of thinking it is either an actuator problem or more likely the the power steering control valve. This is all based on research, however, and...

    Mercruiser 5.0 Misfiring

    The master connector in the center of the picture. The one with the blue rings on either end. Same thing this last weekend - no issues again.

    Mercruiser 5.0 Misfiring

    Well, I had no incidents this past weekend. No sputters or misfires and all I did was spray some WD-40 Electrical Cleaner into key connection points. Thank you for the help on this one, and while the plugs and wires would have eventually needed a change, it would've been nice if I was smart...

    Serial #: 0W663009 Sea Ray 240 Sundeck with a Bravo 3. Over the course of this last summer, I had a few incidents where at either full power or at a slow no-wake taxi the boat will either cut power for a split second and then reengage immediately or a couple times it has just shut off entirely...

    Lost All Steering on Bravo 3 Outdrive

    Update: JR Marine Bravo Swivel Shaft Cover Plate Repair Kit for the win! After pulling everything apart, the vast majority of the components were in good shape. The transom was not deteriorating like the steering arm, which was totally eaten through. I replaced all bushings, seals, nuts...

    What is a good way to diagnose if the pin needs to be replaced? That is a lot to hope for, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Thank you!

    What does a rebuild look like? Do you have a reference or video that you’re partial to? Thank you!
