Mercury Mercruiser Drive Bravo The 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.
