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 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!
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!
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.
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
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!
I believe that you for got to reinstall the rubber O-ring on the carrier bearing. The props were not retimed either. Merc requires that you put grease on the threads instead of oil. Merc also requires the use of lock tight on certain things. The offset of the tool is not the reason for the different torque spec, it is the length of the torque wrench. Nice attempt and it is a pretty good video. But there is a reason there are certified marine mechanics.
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!
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!
I’ve noticed some gear lube oil leaking from the lower-most holes of the side water pickup holes on my Mercruiser stern drive. So it doesn’t appear to be a prop seal leak. The leak seems to be above that. Do you have any idea as to where this kind of leak usually occurs?

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

Fantastic video tremendo trabajo, it’s always great to have peace of mind that everything is functioning properly. 🏝🌴🏝🌴👌🏽💥💥💯💯✌🏽 Superb
Thank you so much Bro! Blessings! 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.
Did you have any issues with removing the screw at the bottom of drive to drain oil? Mine seems very stuck. Thanks for the video
