I bought a replacement Bravo III for my boat and have noticed a difference in the anchor pin set-up for the trim ram from the older B3 to this newer B3.They are same style though with the flat front.

My 94 B3 had what appears to be a non-adjustable anchor pin and this new one has a oblong slot for the anchor pin.

What's the deal here?

I need to know the correct pin to order.
 
It's not a different pin, It's a spacer. It's to prevent the amount of 'trim in' in BIII. The insert/spacer goes in the forward position for BIII.
 
Well good grief, it appears some blocks are supposed to be used in there along with some in the back.

I bet that rear pin is gonna be sooo much fun to remove....I doubt it will come out.
 
Thread on a coupling nut(they're the inch long nuts you can get at hardware stores) so you have something to bang on. Just make sure you seat it if you gotta do some hard banging(to save the threads)...but I doubt it will be that bad.

The insert goes in either forward or aft...only two possible positions.
 
Holy sheet. The original reason for the spacer was to prevent too much 'trim-in' with the BIII because of too much stern lift and handling problems.

Soooo...the more they try to improve something, the more problems they create.

Typical! Great design team. I thinks it's mandatory to have marine designers to be dropped on their heads as a child.
