Bravo Three Drives

The twin-prop design says it all. Whether in a single-unit or twin-unit application, the Bravo Three is an efficient drive built without compromise. More than an upgrade from the Alpha drive, it has a mystique all its own. Perhaps it’s the best-in-class shifting or its counterrotating propeller design – enabling agile handling in reverse for precision maneuverability. The Bravo Three is unbeatable.

Bravo Three Drives

Reliability

  • Precision shimmed near-net forged helical steel gears for quiet operation and durability
  • XK 360 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

  • Trim limit switch trims drive angle for maximum performance every time
  • Through-Prop exhaust maximizes power and reduces noise levels
  • The Bravo Three drive’s twin propellers and large rudder area allow uncompromised handling for single- or twin-engine boats capable of speeds up to 65 mph.

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 – Virtually 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
  • New permanently lubricated gimbal bearing does not require maintenance

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
