I would say that if you mounted it on the transom, and fabricated a quick stainless cable to retain it if it fell off (similar to on an anchor pulpit) you would have a nice, easy setup.

Thanks for the input. No, I have only had the usual upkeep issues associated with any outdrive. I was just thinking that the Bravo 1 might have a little better cruise speed and less issues with going through zincs with the single prop. If I could i would turn it into a straight inboard and cut...

Hi all, I have a 2001 2520 with a 5.7 and bravo 3. When it comes time to repower I have been considering going to a Bravo 1. From what I hear, they are more durable, suffer from less corrosion and might give a better cruise speed?? any thoughts?

Megabyte, I will try to figure the posting of pictures out. I would love to post some pictures of what I have done to the boat. I will need to get my 12 year old daughter to help me figure it out.

I just filled the drain hole in the bottom of the anchor locker and put in an overboard drain. It was a quick and cheap fix. Now the bilge is bone dry and I can rinse off the anchor line while it is in the well. (I also installed an inspection plate on the bow above the anchor well in case I get...

I filled my drain with marinetex and used a stainless clamshell to drain over board. Just make sure you put the drain at the very bottom so water does not sit in there.
