Anyone have a Brazil Steering actuator for a Bravo 1? Looking for a new take off or known good used one. The one in my boat is bad and I need to replace it.

Check with Brian at B&D also.

Already did. No dice.

None at all of the So Cal local builders either.

If this is what your searching for.....

Take off from my ‘96 Cole. Originally had cable assist dual ram to Bravo 1, replaced with full hydraulic. I changed because I had discomfort with abrupt right movement hard in throttle, abrupt left on throttle lift. Many cited the gimbal needed replaced. I will say that I never touched gimbal only internal hydraulic upgrade. Solved my problems. I cannot confirm that this control valve is dysfunctional or not, however, I have no more issue. If this will work for your application let me know.

I do not, i think Skia36 got my last one on his old Hallett 300.

Looks like cole brewed may have you covered.

These valves are stupid money for what they are, like $600.

Kinda funny
I was purchasing manager at Magic boats
Flat Top was general manager and motor builder and they named the Flat Top series motors after him
Chris took over Flat Tops business
The parts department had the double door like in Mister Ed and one day one of the riggers shouts out WILBUR!
My nickname has stuck till this day and I still get the WILBUR when I'm in town
Very few people even knew my real name lol

Thank you! I may be in touch. Ideally I'd like a new take off so I'm still waiting for some answers back if anyone has one taking up space.

Yea $600 is about the cheapest I found for a NIB one. There appear to be remans for cheaper.

I bet a lot of people have some that are taking up space that could be better filled with $600

oops forgot the reply, so ya i just bought one and replaced it a month ago. 249.00 pretty easy job, don’t forget the new hoses that no one stocks and you’re gonna have another 250 ish in those two hoses.

Did you buy a take off or a reman?

Mine are the quick release hoses.. At worst can't I take the fittings off my old one, put on the new one and go?

The $600 one I looked at already had the quick release fittings on it. Looked like a plug and play deal.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Not sure on the hose or fittings but A&B supply might be worth a shot?
Although they couldn't fix my external ram hoses and Chris had everything at his shop

My hoses seem to be just fine.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Found a new old stock one! Thanks everyone.
