    WINTERIZING: Full fuel tank vs Empty fuel tank

    My opinion from KY Leave it where ever it is when last used. Use E0 fuel, no stabil, all good come next year. Found later where @tpenfield did a test and found no difference

    I don't have 39 but appears to be for newer sweep back type There have been several changes over the years with the Bravo. Some where gears, oiling, springs and cone issues Your looking to see if there is slop and/or scoring. Some have been able to have the shaft polished and get it going...

    Bravo 3

    Don't know your drive serial number or year, but you need the Merc manual, either 11 or 28 There are keepers on the top of the gear that get removed so the parts separate

    With that then most likely you will need to look at and maybe replace the upper shaft and clutch (items 22 and 24) https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/30968/5398/90

    The Bravo is designed so it only shifts when the upper is turning (motor running). Trying to shift with motor not running is very hard The slop in the parts is not an issue because the shift shaft is removed. The center piece is slotted If it shifts hard when motor is running then the upper...

    Added by PO for some reason and may have been for the problem your getting. Might have used Green because it would standout and also so it would be known as ground.

    Trim not working properly

    Check the trim limit switch on the port side of the drive. If it can be adjusted and it starts to work then its the limit switch. If this does not help, connect the limit switch wires together (Pur/Wht with Blu/Wht) coming from the throttle handle. This will bypass the limit switch. If...

    The temp is on the front of the intake and has 2 wires The diode is most likely the Red plug. The more I think about it, its not the diode
