I’m about to try this on my 2000 bayliner 2855 with Bravo III. Thanks for making the video! Looks pretty straight forward, might spring for a new carrier assembly
Hi! Thanks so much for watching! Yes, its not too difficult, just take your time with it. Yes, I will probably replace my carrier next time I do this service. The last seal lasted 19 years..lol. Peace!
Hi! Same thing with mine, since I did the replacement no more adding lube oil and monitor alarm going off. Thanks so much for watching our video! Happy Boating! Peace from the Keys!
Hi Ramses! Thank you so much for your comment and support! We are happy to hear our videos helped you out. Brother Happy Boating! and Peace from the Keys!
Fantastic channel brother...the Keys look amazing and I might just retire there after seeing your channel. I just purchased a 2006 Bayliner 285 so I've watched all of your maintenance vids. I'm in Chicago so I'll be cruising Lake Michigan. We don't have sandbars like you do :(
Hi Felix! Thanks so much for your support, Bro! After owning my 285 for 18 years, I still love it. Hope to have you as a neighbor in the Keys. Enjoy your 285 Brother, Happy Boating! Peace!
Hey there, GREAT VIDEO! Super helpful. I cant find the link with all the tools and supplies. I can list the tools you mentioned in the video, were there any other items used tgat you did not mention? Again, SUPER. HELPFUL video. And yes i have liked and subscribed.
Thanks so much for this video! Helped me right thru this job! Had issues like you did getting the seal carrier out of the thing! Man it took a lot of careful banging to get that thing out but I got it out and got the new one back in the same way you did! I would also recommend replacing the O-ring as well which I did. Thanks again great video!
Hi Chris! Glad this video helped! Yes, the o-ring should be changed also, just did not have it when I did the job. Thanks so much for watching Bro! Peace!
Great work and great video. Your Bravo 3 is in excellent shape as well as your bearing carrier. You're the exception not the rule. Obviously you took great care of it.....good to replace that rubber O ring in the aft section of the bearing carrier.
Hi Michael, thanks for your comment. We reused the same one on there, but may change it on my next prop service. It looked in good shape no nicks, or cracks, we did removed it to clean out all of the broken pieces of shells. So far its working great. Thanks for watching! Peace!
Some heat helps to get the restrainer and bearing carrier off. Also so does soaking with Kroil or other better penetrating oil . The heat makes a huge difference
Hi, thanks for your comment and watching our video! No never had any problems with the drain screw. But to make it easy to remove, just put a good size screwdriver and tap it a few times with a hammer and then try turning it... this always works for me. Thanks! Peace!

Just did mine today!!
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching our video! It's been several months since I did mine, and it's working great. Peace from the Keys!
Great Video. What is that metal bar on the side of the outdrive? is that to protect it?
It's a drive shower. Sprays water on the top side of the drive to cool it
Thank you for this video

Put a little oil inside to get old seal out and around the new one to get in
Hi, thanks so much for watching our video! Yes, great advice! Thanks. Peace from the Keys!
Good job captain
Thanks for watching! Peace!
Great video and instructions, did you have replace what looked like a o-ring on the outside of the seal carrier or is it unimportant?
Hi Michael, thanks for your comment. We reused the same one on there, but may change it on my next prop service. It looked in good
shape no nicks, or cracks, we did removed it to clean out all of the broken pieces of shells. So far its working great. Thanks for watching! Peace!
Its very important since it keeps the water out and oil in. I replaced mine its about $1.25 for the OEM O ring.
