I've got an old stern power drive which works fine but parts are impossible to find and giant question marks form above the heads of every mechanic who looks at it.

I want to replace it with a bravo I (or XR, IMCO, etc). My current setup uses a borg warner transmission between the engine and the drive. I'm trying to put together a list of parts for the bravo setup. I know the engine will probably have to move but that's ok because I've already got new power and will need to re-do the transom.

Can somebody point me in the right direction as far as the outdrive, gimbal, transom assemblies (internal and external), bellousing, etc. I also want to add an extension box and hydraulic steering. I'm looking to buy these parts used as there are tons of parts for sale out there, just need some help on which ones.

Thanks.

You may not have to move the engine if your use a short drive shaft. Then the balance won't change on the boat. But, you'll have to have a front and rear motor mounts for the engine. I think the rear mount now is on your trans.
You'll also need the complete transome assembly And of course the drive.They come up for sale often on Ebay. You will also be able to sell yout BW trans to recoup some of the cost.
