Bravo Universal Joint Assembly
The Bravo Universal Joint Assembly is a key driveline component in your MerCruiser Bravo sterndrive, responsible for transferring power from the engine to the drive while allowing smooth articulation and flexibility. Built to handle high torque and demanding marine conditions, this assembly keeps your propulsion system running efficiently and reliably.
Smooth, Flexible Power Transfer
As your engine moves and shifts under load, the universal joint compensates for angle changes between the engine coupler and the input shaft. This flexible design ensures smooth, uninterrupted power delivery even during tight turns or heavy acceleration. Without a properly functioning u-joint assembly, your Bravo drive risks vibration, clunking, or even catastrophic failure.
Built for Bravo Drives
This universal joint assembly is specifically designed for MerCruiser Bravo I, Bravo II, and Bravo III drives. It fits securely within the bell housing and gimbal area and connects directly to the input shaft. Whether you’re repowering, performing seasonal maintenance, or replacing a worn part, this unit restores drive integrity and alignment.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Made from high-strength alloy steel, the assembly resists corrosion and wear in both freshwater and saltwater environments. It features precision-machined joints and durable needle bearings for long service life under high torque loads. When installed correctly, it eliminates drivetrain slack and reduces vibration.
Pre-Assembled for Easy Installation
The assembly comes pre-greased and fully assembled, making installation quick and straightforward. With the right tools and basic mechanical knowledge, it’s a manageable job for experienced DIY boaters or professionals alike.
Prevent Costly Damage
Ignoring a worn universal joint can lead to gimbal bearing wear, input shaft damage, or even upper gearcase failure. Replacing it at the first sign of play, noise, or vibration protects your investment and ensures smoother, quieter operation on the water.
