Whether your drive is a Bravo Two (single prop) or a Bravo Three (counter-rotating twin props) depends on how the boat was originally ordered. For service details, see the Engine & Drive page.

Identify your exact engine from the serial-number decal on the flame arrestor or the engine block, and the drive from the tag on the drive housing. That serial number is the key to ordering the correct parts.
