Mercruiser Bravo Sterndrives
| The latest Mercury Bravo
2002 model drives, serial number 0M10----- and above have
an improved upper gear set with thicker floors and heavy duty
thrust bearings. These gears are available to upgrade earlier drives.
See the details at the left. This is the same gear set
(aside from the input shaft) used on the X and XZ drives. In 2006 Mercury redesigned the Bravo upper gear housing. We call it the swept-back housing. The new housing is more rigid and has improved & quieter shift characteristics. In addition to the Bravo I, II and III the X, XZ and XR drives are all in stock. Ask us about the new Mercury Racing integrated transom system. See the links on the left for SternDrive pricing and other info. |
