Mercury Mercruiser
Drive Bravo

2005_drive_bravoThe MerCruiser Bravo series is now available for our model 400TAS. The Peninsular/Bravo combination includes the complete package for new boat builds: transom assembly, flywheel drive plate, trim and tilt, steering cylinder, and the drive unit.
Featuring a new cone clutch and shift engagement strategy with MPI engines, these drives shift like silk while delivering rock-crushing torque. New graphics and a new, sleek shape to the upper unit highlight the new design that delivers best-in-class shifting.

 

Reliability

  • Precision shimmed near-net forged steel gears for strength and durability.
  • XK360 low copper alloy for corrosion resistance.
  • Tri-Paint System (Irridite, EDP & Powder Paint) creates a tough, durable corrosion resistant barrier.
  • Armored trim lines protect hydraulic system from debris.
  • Flow-Torq II Propeller Hub – The “Weekend Saver” protects the entire drive from damage, not just the lower unit.

Performance

  • Bravo One’s performance torpedo & Dual Water Pick-ups that allow high X-Dimensions make it the industry leader for performance applications.
  • Large propellers on Bravo Two maximize lift and thrust for large boats under 45 mph.
  • Twin props & large rudder area with Bravo Three allows uncompromised handling for single-engine boats up to 65 mph.
  • Trim limit switch sets drive angle for maximum performance every time.
  • Through-Prop exhaust maximizes power and reduces noise levels.

Easy Ownership

  • Drive Lube Monitor – Alarm warns if drive lube is low. Engine mounting allows easy inspection and fill without the cost to pull a boat from the water.
  • Permalube® U-Joint – No Maintenance Required.
  • Maintenance Free Hinge Pins – No added cost to pull a boat from the water.
  • Greaseable Drive Coupler – No added cost to pull a boat from the water.
  • Greaseable Gimbal Bearing – Do not need to remove the drive for service.

Technology

  • Power Trim XD® Automatically Returns the Drive to the Water to Maintain Full Control of Boat in Case of an Emergency.
  • MerCathode® monitors the galvanic potential of the drive and counteracts corrosion with a metered electrical charge providing continuous cathodic protection.
  • Engine Guardian System® with MPI engines protects the drive from damage from low lubricant levels.
