Your engine serial number 0F305171 is coming up as an 1995 MERCRUISER 454 model number 4454110HS TB5, W/PS, TWO PC EX System, WORO, GEN V 454 BRAVO.... Here's your parts guide for the engine, http://www.marineengine.com/parts/mercury_marine_parts/sn/0F305171The original engine was a 1994 454 Magnum carbed engine also.
Your serial number is coming up as an 1995 BI-ROTATION BRAVO 1 1.50:1 Model number 5120150HS.... Here's your drive parts guide, http://www.marineengine.com/parts/mercury_marine_parts/sn/0F387387This is the original out drive and I have a serial number for the Bravo 1 of 0F387387 and 1.5 gear ration written down but that was a long while ago and no idea where I got that from. (Tried to track the serial number down further but no luck yet).
Being that you drive serial number is a 1995 model year, it sounds like the lower gear case housing may have been changed to a newer year model somewhere along the line as I believe Merc didn't start using dual water pick-up till somewhere around 1997ish.The out drive has both side and front bottom water intakes on it which I thought indicated it was not the basic casting which only has side intakes if that means anything.
Most standard bravos with 454, 502's came with 1.50:1 while 1.36's where more on the special fit side of things for/from some boat manufacturers or Merc service dealers changing gear sets for certain high performance boats.I see that they actually made the bravos that year with 1.36, 1.50 and 1.65 gears. Not thinking they would pair a 1.36 with a Mar engine in a Baja.
