I have a 1988 shore lander tandem axle trailer for my 25' boat. The surge brakes aren't working due to the calipers being stuck. I need to purchase new calipers and pads for the disc brakes. The problem is that the brakes were originally drum,and someone converted them to disc so the shore...
Hi all, I am looking for the dimensions of the Bravo Shift Cable Adjustment Tool that Mercruiser and\or Quicksilver sells. I can't get it in my area and would like to make one. If someone has one laying around, it would be greatly appreciated if you could take three measurements for me. Each...
I have a 96 Chap with a 5.7lx and Bravo 3. I just put it in the water today. The boat ran great for the first hour at a slow speed (about 7 knots, 2000 rpm), then when I increased throttle to about 3000-3500 while pulling my son on tube, I began hearing a loud rattle (like marbles in a jar...
I am replacing the u-joint bellow on my 96 Bravo III sterndrive. The shift cable bellow was replaced (with cable) last year and there is no exhaust bellow (tube option). The gimball bearing is also good, so it is just the u-joint bellow that needs to be replaced due to slight cracking (not...

Re: 96 Bravo III occasionally not engaging forward gear- HELP
It may have been changed since 2011. I just bought the boat, and have receipts for repairs to the lower end in 2011 so I know it was changed then. I'm not sure the fluid was that bad either, just some white swirls, and no milk...
Having trouble finding the Bravo Shift Cable Adjustment tool 91-12427 in my area. Just wondering if someone would be kind enough to give me the dimensions of the tool, from the end (pivot point, barrel end) to the two indents that show forward and reverse gears?
Thanks
I have a 96 Chap 25 Sig with a 5.7LX Bravo III that has developed an issue with engaging forward gear the last few days. Reverse engages instantly with no issue. However, when I push the lever forward , occasionally, the boat will not engage forward gear until going so far that the revs start...
I have a 96 mercruiser 5.7lx 4 bl weber carb (non vortec) with bravo 3 in my 96 Chap. When it's cold the starter turns over the engine strong (not a battery issue), but the engine won't fire for about 5-6 secs. That is understandable when its cold, with the choke coming on and so forth...
I own a 96 chaparral 25 signature with a 5.7 lx carb thunderbolt v engine and bravo 3 drive. The motor is running good, with occasional slow starting condition (might take 2 or 3 tries). However, there is a really bad smell of fuel from the exhaust. I verified there are no fuel leaks in engine...
I am looking at 25-30 ft cruisers similar to ther below. I was leaning towards a 5.0L engine as opposed to the 5.7 or 7.2L due to fuel mileage. The boat will be used as a cruiser, so getting up on plane and blasting across a lake are of no concern. We like to cruise around the lakes slowly...
I am looking at purchasing a 1983 29? Bayliner Contessa 2855 with Command Bridge as seen below. The owner has maintained the boat and has a recent marine survey completed with very good results. My question is in regards to the quality of the overall boat. I know Bayliners of that era have a...
