Well got the boat pulled out of the water and got ready to start the shift cable replacement.

I learned that it wasn't the shift cable....... How about the entire damn drive is out !!!!!

no metal in the gear oil 2 weeks ago and now the drive is full of metal shavings .....yea me!

so any good connections on refurbished or remanufactured bravo 3 drives would be much appreciated.

I learned yesterday that not only will 104 degree heat dehydrate you but so will excessive crying.....

Geeze T'sep, what a pisser.

Sorry to hear about the metal in the drive. One of my customers in FL is in the business of selling and rebuiliding all different forms of stern drives. Give Carl a call they do a wonderful job of rebuilding them Tell him Jeff Gleason sent you. You can get your drive rebuilt or trade it in as a core. (and as always I have no horse in the race).

Good Luck Man.

TS ......I have felt your pain. I remember when I was winterizing a boat and started to drain the outdrive and nothing but clear water came out of the bottom drain hole on my merc. :-(

I would take advantage of BS's (jeff) offer and see what this guy can do for you.
