    Bravo3 lower unit casing replacement

    It cost me about $700 in special tools just to do the lower and that was several years ago. First thing you need is manual 28 https://forums.iboats.com/threads/looks-like-im-getting-into-bravo-outdrive-repair.617342/ The pics don't look that bad, but maybe they are

    2012 VP 300 C-A Exhaust manifolds getting too hot - DTC 441 & 442

    Serial number works. Don't see the manifold or elbow being part of the closed cooling system. The manifold shows a wing nut drain plug on bottom of Man and the Man to elbow gasket list 3863191 which are full flow gaskets So were back to the raw water pump...

    Water in oil

    the bolts go into water jackets Either way the head has to come off so while things start coming apart you can see if its somewhere else. As I said "IF" it was running fine and then this happens its most likely the head gasket "IF" it was never run then maybe a crack

    Water in oil

    went from 3 blade to a four blade prop

    A 4B 19 is equal to your original 3B 21. I bites better and will probably give you more lift. If there is to much lift you will porpoise, but that's only if you get to much

    went from 3 blade to a four blade prop

    Went from 3B 21 to 4B 21 - the 4B is equal to 3B 23P You increased pitch and it would make it slower coming up

    Where Do I Get Marine Quality Non-Slip Strips?

    Add bathtub strips (1" x 12") on my swim deck about 1997, and were still there when I sold the boat this year

    2012 VP 300 C-A Exhaust manifolds getting too hot - DTC 441 & 442

    Ten minutes is not enough time to overheat the motor but is enough if insufficient water is going thru. Check the raw water impeller

    New fuel lines on inboard tank cannot prime!

    If its a carb motor the bulb should pump right thru, fill the filter and the carb. The carb would keep letting air out until full of fuel If its EFI, you need to bleed the air out at the fuel rail, or TB. Would help to fill the filter

    4.3 Engine coupler issue?

    I'm no machinist either but that way you have it setup is not telling me anything. Sticking a pipe in the coupler and then rotating it says nothing about out of round. If it was still connected to the motor and the pipe was not in a vise I would say yes. Move the dial indicator on the rear...
