Hi to all! I'm having one bravo 1x diesel sterndrive with 1.50 ratio and I am looking to swap to a bravo 3 with ratio 2.0. I found that the pinion and driven gear are the same (32/27) but the lower unit gears are different. Mine is 15/19 and for bravo 3 16/27 can I make the swap? Need to change something else? The lower units are different for diesel or are they the same as the standard?
Thanks in advance

So long as both drives are 1995 or newer there is no issue other then needing higher pitch props.

What pitch you running now?

Yes, the drive is 2009. Now I run 15 pitch in bravo 1 to come to plane. I bought the setup (engine drive etc)from another boat and doesn't much in mine that's why I need to change the ratio and drive.

You should be in good shape, I would guess in the 19 to 21 pitch area
