Is that the Imco steering setup? How did you go about mounting everything?

I have the same on my Cobalt 343 and am pretty sure I chipped a gearset a couple weeks ago. If these are an option I'll bite and keep my original Bravo 1 XR as a spare.

Keep in mind, the SEI's are regular Bravo's and not XR's, so they may not hold up to your power.

boatnt

yes I used the original imco steering caps,

Parts are made in China, there assembled in florida from what I understand

boatnt

yep, you are correct, no different than Mercruiser

I used a set of SEI lower gears in a Bravo in a 27 fountain with slightly warmed up 500 efi engine, they did not last long BUT that was a while ago, Smitty

boatnt

yep , when I talked to the SEI rep, he said they are rated for the same horsepower as a regular swept bravo with all interchangeable parts

boatnt

yep I hear you, I'm not a cheerleader or a spokesman for SEI, I chose to go this route because of the price point and being new, for 3K these days you're buying a used 20 year old Bravo that's been twisted, torn apart, put together who knows what,
at least these come with a three-year warranty and the service has been great. I had questions a couple times when I called, somebody answered the phone, and they were very pleasant, not sure I would get that when I buy a used Bravo

Just placed the order for a 1.50 unit to replace my 20 year old XR drive behind a 425 HP engine. We'll see how it does right next to the newer Mercruiser XR leg on the Stbd side. The newer Merc leg was $8K last year and my local dealers are quoting me $12K now.

Thanks Boatnt for the reply on the Imco Steering.

Did you put Mercury Racing decals on the sides of them?
