Hoping one of you smart guys can help me out. My gear case is being replaced with a new one. They apparently no longer use the same gear ratio as my original and is being replaced with a new model. Question is will I now also have to replace my prop? Bigger or Smaller? I was running a 26 Trophy/27 Tempest.
I just want to get a little smarter on this so any help will be appreciated.

Did your 08 grenade on you or did you hit something. If it grenaded, how many hours did you get out of it. I'm close to 175 hours now, just wondering. Check out Seahorses' statement on the ratios on the new cases in the thread above.
" 2011 the 225HO and 250 HO come with the M2 gearcase with 13-24 gears, 1.85."
Holy Sh$& if you were running a 26/27 with a 1:71 gear case your gonna need a 28/29 now with a 1:86 gearcase!!!! I could barley get out of the hole with a 25 Fury loaded! What kind of boat are you running?

No boom and didnt hit anything. Metal shavings with the L/U being serviced. It only had 75 hours on it.
Anyone have new prop recommendations?

I ran a 27TXP 3 blade with PVS holes on my 225HO, I run 28BravoI on the 250HO. What did you do with the old gearcase?

It was replaced under warranty so I'm not sure what the shop is going to do with it. I ran my 27 Tempest plus yesterday and a buddy's 27 Razor yesterday and both were too small. I'm gonna try and run another friends 28 Bravo I and 27 Fury next weekend.....

Ill trade ya for the L2. I have the SLE new case. Dont like her too much!
let me understand this. you have replaced your lower unit under warranty but due to brp no longer making the exact replacement part you have to buy a prop.
that just dont sound right.
ha.... to me it does the way the economics of the US has been

that sounds great then. hats off to brp customer service .
I had my boat at the dealership today because it was running a little warm. They were going to change the whole L/U because of an upgrade but they didn't have the correct color. They have ordered one for my engine so I need to know what to expect when it is installed. Oh yea you do get a new prop in the upgrade!!
Thanks
