No, I am not familiar with the I/O at all. It was moored, and the I/O is older, the lower unit is almost new. He said a friend botched something in the install/adjustment of the previous lower unit/ prop, so he got a new one. I saw receipts for the work. I ran it, it shifted nicely, although I am used t outboard "dog clutch" shifting, so anything is quieter. When running with the steering wheel turned hard over there were no odd noises (I was told to listen for gimbal bearing growl).

I am not sure of the generation of Bravo 3 it is. It is old enough to be either generation- installed ~2004. I think it might be older?

I had a mechanic help with the de/re winterizing and running. But he knows the seller. My mechanic wasn't available.

I get the feeling that the install wasn't top notch first time out- it was pulled and redone once, early on. And maybe the Bravo 3 lower unit dissolved. I don't know. This will be a trailer queen for a year while I sort it out and make sure the zincs and mercathode is done right.

Your input is appreciated.

As for my wobble comment-
Standing behind the I/O with it at idle in gear, I could just see that the prop tips hat a bit of wobble. Not worse than my outboard when I do the same thing on the trailer. But I don't know Bravo 3 I/Os.
