All of our Bravo Sterndrives are remanufactured by Mercruiser and are equivilant to new. A precision remanufactured stern drive is a complex item that not just anyone can produce. Most failed Mercruiser Bravo drives have been impact damaged or encountered internal component breakdown within the housing. Normally, these activities will distort the housing, increasing the likelihood that it will fail again.
Bravo sterndrives are subject to extreme stress-loads making it very important that the housings are absolutely true-to-specification before the drive is re-assembled. At Mercury Remanufacturing stern drives start with 100% NEW housings. To assure product quality, every internal component is closely inspected for wear and tolerance limits before they go back into another drive. The best source for a remanufactured sterndrive is the company that created them in the first place.
