Mercruiser Bravo 3 Sterndrive Upper Gear Failure

Darin,

There are several things technical considerations regarding the Mercruiser Sterndrives. We have all the individual product specifications for the Bravo 3 and Bravo 3X sterndrives in our Technical Specification Library. To answer your question yes its normally more cost effective to replace the entire unit due to the broken gears contaminating the rest of the sterndrive. Using the link below you can add your selected product(s) to your shopping cart and the shipping estimator located at the bottom of the shopping cart page will give you a shipping cost based on your specific postal code. Let me know if you need any further technical information or help placing your order. In either case I will be glad to assist!

Customer inquiry from: Darin T

Body: I lost my upper gears on my Bravo 3 OW298327 is the serial number for the upper gear housing. I was thinking it would be beter to replace the whole leg. my boat is a 2006 and the gear ratio is 2.2-1 I am wondering about 1) the difference between the Bravo 3 and the 3X 2)about the warranty ? 3) shipping to Canada, British columbia 4) and also wondering about my old leg and option of what I could do. The shop said my bottom end is still good but not sure about my upper as the gears are destroyed. I don’t cracks in the housing but there is some scaring. I think its far enough back to not effect the seal but I am not sure. I am not the best way to go so I was looking for some direction an what you guys would suggest
