Description
New for 2005 is a redesigned series of Bravo drives. 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. All XR Drives now feature the ribbed top that reinforces the steel chimney securing bearings under high load.
Reliability
Precision shimmed near-net forged steel gears for strength and durability.
Heavy-duty U-joint reliably transmits monster torque loads.
Reinforced ribbed top cap & steel chimney reliably secure bearings under high load.
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.
Heavy-duty hinge pins maintains accurate trim angle in rough conditions.
Performance
Bravo XR leads the race for factory-class performance.
Bravo XR with the Sport Master lower unit keeps you connected and ahead of the rest for speeds in excess of 90 mph with a nose cone and a CNC milled longer torpedo.
Low Water Pick-ups draw cooling water from the bottom of the torpedo to allow X-Dimensions up to 22 for catamaran applications.
Available Lab-Finished props are trued, balanced, honed, and polished to perfection.
Integrated Transom System (ITS) – Combines external steering performance with a 7 standoff that does not require additional glass-work or cutting into the transom.
Twin props & large rudder area with Bravo Three XR allows uncompromised handling.
Trim limit switch sets drive angle for maximum performance every time.
