I don't know a lot about outdrives. My Bravo XZ siezed Mon. at Havasu. The top cap with the four bolts exploded. The bolts are still there, but the center blew out. The engine (Merc 500HP) died instantly. The 2hr. tow back to site 6 had a trail of gear oil the whole way. Any ideas what the hell happened? I was trimmed properly. I was doing about 65mph.

Sounds like the upper gearset came apart.

Sucks to hear, did you at least have a drive shower on it?

You should expect a greeting in the mail about this. :argue: :D
Seems like someone should produce a drive oil cooler of some sort. I guess that the oil isn't circulated in Bravo outdrives, just slung around?
Sorry you had the el explodo on the 4th of July weekend....

Not a good thing to admit on an open forum. You are responsible for this stuff and the environuts will get you :yuk: Sorry for your loss :cry:
