Thank you so much for putting all of that together. I just bought a boat with a Bravo 3 and I'm just seeing what I may be up against for future maintenance. You're a good thorough teacher. I appreciate your effort to teach while you repair. Some guys know how to repair but they don't know how to teach. You can do both very well so thank you.
Awesome videos Eddie. We appreciate you taking the time to show us the proper maintenance of boats and all they entail
Nice work Eddie, you explained it very clearly while showing us what to do. Thank you.
Hi Eddie... Awesome job and a great step by step outline of the work being done along with a with clear view and well articulated narration to boot !!! I am new to boating and have this exact same drive (Bravo III) and I like doing as much maintenance myself on my vehicles as I can so this is a perfect watch and learn video clip for me personally as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to shoot it ! SRIII.
Happy to help you out. And Thank you for your support🤙⚓️
Eddie, Great videos. You did say something like you heard propellers do not need to be lined up, but, you line up the part numbers. You were honest in your representation and I would have done the same on my boat. I spoke to a propeller repair shop today and he says the two propellers on a Bravo III spin at different RPMs and you do not need to line them up.
Awesome How To Videos, Great Instructions, Really Appreciate Them.
Thank you. And thanks for your support
Been using your videos to learn/teach myself maintenance with my Sea Ray 240 Sundancer. Good stuff.
Glad to help out. thank you for your support. Be safe
Hey Eddie
Thanks so much for your videos!
I’ve been watching you from way back. You have me the confidence to winterize my boat myself. Truly appreciate it pal.
As a fellow Long Islander....
Thank you!!!!!
Thank you Mike. And thank you for your support. Have a happy holiday.
Really enjoying your video series. My '03 Cobalt 220 has the Bravo 3 and these videos are just the thing! Thanks!
this time the camera was impeccable, love your video. it s all good from Montreal.
michel desrosiers thank you 🤙
Thanks Eddie!! I've always jammed the 2x4 between the props, farting around for a minute. Never thought to have the 2x4 between the prop and cavitation plate..LOL SMH Been a subscriber for a while now....welcome back
This is why I like dry racking my boat. Saves the corrosion on the drives
Thank you Eddie. Was very informative.
Thank you - very informative. Excellent , clear instruction!
Thank you. And Thank you for your support
Those are nuts vs. bolts. Thanks for the video.
Thank for the correction. I know.But I wasn’t going to reshoot the whole video,over. For the Correction of nuts the bolts. I figured everybody would get it. 🤙
You gotta clock or time the duoprops. Tail edge of leading prop must immediately flow into leading edge of trailing prop blade
Love your videos. Thanks so much.
Thank you For your support
Using a carbon steel brush on stainless can induce rusting. Thanks for the video!
Nice video
Thank you for your support. Hope it helped you out.🤙⚓️
Great insightful video, thanks brotha
You’re very welcome. Thank you for your support. and watching the videos.
@@OnboardWithEddie I have a 06 Larson Cabrio 240 with a Volvo Penta outdrive.... That large Socket toll would be the same size (universal) or what cha think, appreciate it....
Very informative glad i watched.
Great video. Thanks for the helpful tips and tricks.
brilliant tutorial
Great video, thank you
Eddie love your videos, do you have a video for the brovo 3 propeller shaft seals replacement?
Yes, would be very helpful as that's not a Bravo 3 video. In the process of doing mine--would be a life saver!
I have twin 5.0s and B3s and appreciate these videos, thanks.
Have you made a video that shows greasing the engine coupler?
Great video
I read about clocking the props fwd prop blade at 12 and aft at 6 🤷🏻♂️
Hello Eddie, I have a Bravo III outdrive and I'd like to know if there is an impeller in it? I already change the impeller on the motor beneath the cool fuel module/alternator. BTW, you are so thorough with the videos, great job and thank you!!
Hey love your videos, I am very grateful for them. I am leaking gear oil at the props. what should I be looking for ?
Prop Shaft Seals are going out/worn. A lot of tools and procedures, but doable. You need to remove the Bearing Carrier and shaft out to replace them. Hope Eddie will do a video on it...
Great video! What’s the acid wash you mentioned? Muriatic? If so, I’m curious how it works. Did you have to mix with water? Did you put in a spray bottle? Did you use gloves, goggles & face mask?
Eddie, if i want to replace my Bravo One can I change it to a Bravo Three or would I need to change the entire mount on both sides of the transom?
Thanks for the video - I noticed you put grease on the larger props threads, but not the smaller one. Is that something you did on purpose?
Curious, have you thought about installing drive showers on your BIII's? I just installed them on my BIII X's as a precautionary measure.
Drive Showers?
Eddie, thanks for the awesome videos. Can you tell me if you are using Quicksilver 2C4C or marine grease? Thank you.
Do you recommend put racing oil in the engine. I have heard that it is much better than using the standard.
If you want to clean the props, submerge them in vinegar overnight or a day or two. No scrubbing required in my freshwater experience.
Hello Eddie, please could you know how we can remove just the water pump poulie, target it just to change the seal ??
this was filmed a few years ago so Im not sure if you will see this - I need to take mine off this weekend and Im a little unclear as to what you "lined up" when you put the props back on - was it the inscription matching up on both props ? Also another guy I watched used different size wrenches (except for the second prop, that was the same) - he used 13MM for anod and 37mm for first prop - I would think bravo III would all be the same idk ?
Hello Great videos Do you know where the where the Mercathode Anode Assembly in located on a bravo 3 Mine is all bottom painted and it may be covered Thank you
I'm having problem removing the front prop, what can I do to remove it?
Trying hitting it with a hammer and a block of wood. As low as you can on the blade as low as you can to the hub of the prop. Don’t you just hit one side, keep spinning the prop and hit each blade. (Low by the hub of the prop and blade) 🤙⚓️
What is the purpose of the nose cone? My B3 doesn't have one
To keep the electrolysis from eating away at your props and out drive. I would recommend putting one on. 🤙⚓️
what do you use to acid wash the props?
Is your boat moored in salt water? If so, is it in the water full time?
My boat is docked. And I take it out of the water in the Winter.
Why does it matter how the props go back on? Won’t they spin in the same way regardless...?
yes. merc says it dont matter. at a given point they line up anyway.
Jimbo sammy Actually I figured it out. When mounting them back on, the rear propeller should have one blade that points up (12 o clock) and the outer propeller should have one blade that points down (6 o clock).
That way they are properly synced, making sure that they will never both be pointing up, ever. It’s to avoid cavitation on the props.
Mercruiser reference 72221
rinkerboats.vanillacommunities.com/discussion/861/prop-timing-torques-specs
So do not match up the way they were put on before, it isn’t necessarily correct.
U said at the start of the video that front prop os 60 pounds. And when u torque it you showed us the torque wrench at 100.
The Inner prop is at 100 and the outer prop. is at 60. I only showed how munch on the inner prop. Not the outer prop.
what did you use to clean the props
OSCAR RODRIGUEZ on & off hull & bottom cleaner.
hello friend I want to change the oil to my outdrive mercury bravo 3 double propeller I wanted to know how much I should buy and if necessary when I make the change fill the plastic tank that is in the engine. Thank you very much in advance
Hey Yoyany. It’s about 2 1/2 quarts so get three. But Follow this link. it will show you how to do it. th-cam.com/video/OuJUFqpGdaI/w-d-xo.html
@@OnboardWithEddie thanks you so much
Your welcome. Thank you.for your support.
Hi Eddie. I have a question, since I am not a mechanic by trade but I like to do basic maintenance on my boat ( i will get a new one in a few months) and I wonder if the special double-size wrench at each end would be a good option. rather than the 2 deep sockets you use to remove the propellers? I already bought my torque wrench. thank you
If you use a wrench. You will not be able Your torque wrench. to put it back on. And I don’t think you can take the first bolt off with a wrench. You would be able to get in there. Hope that help you
@@OnboardWithEddie thank you for taking the time to answer me, it's a special key made for the bravo 3 but ok if I buy the two sockets as you have,it's better to buy another ratchet just to unscrew or i can take my torque wrench to unscrew the screws (LEXIVON click torque wrench with 1/2" drive up to 25/250ft-lb)
on this special wrench there is at each end a 1/2 in. square hole to enter the 1/2 in. torque wrench
Ohhh!!! nice! I’ve never seen that. But it sounds like it’ll work good for me. 🤙⚓️
Where have you been eddie
Tyler Anderson. I had To raise my son. Lol
@@OnboardWithEddie I fully understand. Hopefully you'll put out some more boating videos. I learned alot from your channel Best wishes to you and yours
How old are your Bravo 3's? There appears to be zero corrosion.
mark dimaio They are 12years old. I do paint them every year.
how can I tell if I have a spun prop on a Bravo III?
no rubber hubs on bravos. cant spin but may shear splines though unlikely.
if you have slippage it could be engine coupler. would smell burnt rubber likely.
or sheared splines in coupler and that would be audible.
The specs say 60 on the rear and 100 on the front.
Thank you for pointing that out. I just watched a video at the beginning I said 100 on the rear and 60 on the front. and doing a video when I was doing it. I also said 100 and rear 60 on the front
Where did you hear me say it? The other way? I will correct it. Thanks
@@OnboardWithEddie I think I got confused with the terminology. I should have said forward facing prop (big nut) 100 and aft prop (small nut) 60. I think that is also what you were saying. Thanks.
100ft lbs on both nuts was told 90lbs. Could have saved me $100cnd on the other hand I didn't get dirty
The way I did mine was much easier, hit an underwater log and ripped the whole drive off, got a little transom damage doing it that way, but very effective.
Derek Walter. hey Derek. thank you, For your input. But I think, I’ll Stick to my way. Lol 🤙
Wow, click bait
