Might be a long shot, but Teague had a lot of these old style propellers from ?? Give him a shout as he would be very happy to get rid of the old inventory.

I called and asked BAM what their dyno says the transmission requires and I know the rolling torque the Arneson requires.

I do not know where you got your figures but they are not in the ball park. The BAM tranny consumes about 9 hp and the Arneson consumes about 1. Not bad at all. As for the helm unit, all helms are...

I am looking into it, but I am also trying to learn the background of these drives. They have been apart I was told so how much and who performed modifications?? As for a cure, sure as others have...

Correct other than the failure analysis. The piston on the trim cylinder shaft came off allowing the drive to fall. When it fell the ball extended beyond the range of the socket breaking the socket....

Come on now, I just love in particular what an 18 yr old with a "Bayliner 19' powered by a Chrysler out board" has to tell an owner of a new 48 MTI with Merc 1350's. I find it really insightful

Some have an agenda which is beyond necessary when apparently they need to take care of their own issues first. But this is the internet

Good idea Pete

All I can think of is vibration on the piston nut. It cannot happen twice as the nut will be remedied. This is the first year with the Arnesons they purchased (used) and they love them. The boat had...

The nut on the trim cylinder backed off and the piston dropped out of the cylinder, rest is

I'll stack reliability against yours any day.

It would have to be a production unit, I could do the castings and such. Power, well do it and do it once so 1,500 ft/lbs

Imagine, sitting as it would not be easy standing, and shifting the boat...

Cost.... :huh:

Yes, to eliminate the 110lb baby on the back of the engine. Although they have problems, the NXT tranny is 35 lbs and is short.

I know the SMG's are merely a manual gb with computer controls but...

I know that Merc requested all the BH 2 Speeds back and was providing the cost to cover the re-rig to a Bravo in place of the BH back then. I know "Powerboat Transmissions" aka Richard Peat in...

Backing into the slips, docking and slow speed maneuverability will not be a problem as the Arnesons actually dock better than the Bravo's as we have a better bite with the speed master propellers...

Pat who developed the 2 speed that Merc used with the BH drive? I remember them, they would down shift when the rpm dropped and then up shift. Kind of like a kick down cable from modern cars.

Merc...

Glad to see that you know first hand that Idiots don't solely target Arnesons :D

The Bravo propellers work fine for smaller boats, the Maximus works even better and the ideal "Bravo" style...

I get there on Monday... 3 Days till countdown...:bump:

John, I am not Bull****ting you, I have both housings that I've made to do either a Bravo propeller or a Speedmaster propeller. Been displayed at the Miami Boat Show for the past 3 years now.

You mean a propeller like this?

Beautiful boat. I think it was a dark purple with yellow graphic's? What was it called "Mr. Cavity" or something like that..

John, you realize that the same propeller goes on the Arneson that goes on the Mercury, BMax, IMCO, etc. etc..

If you have a side by side you are between 34.5 to 36" on centers and this is the...

Oh.. You mean the Dentist that spent a but load of $$$$$$$$$ on PSI's and then spent another but load putting the #3's back on it...

I've got so many of those old Cigarette's with Arnesons that...

The Bravo's are closer to 34-36" without a box and on a box are within 4" the length of the Arneson Kits.

The bottom of all propellers are exposed so once again I do not see how the drive being...
