-- Features Integrated Steering Cylinders
-- Designed Specifically for Bravo One XR Drive
Press Release 8 Aug 2001Fond du Lac, WI - The performance of 2002 Mercury Racing sterndrive engine packages, outfitted with the Bravo One XR drive, is leveraged with the new Integrated Transom System (I.T.S.). The I.T.S. enhances overall boat performance as well as drive durability and reliability. The new I.T.S. features integral power steering cylinders and a lightweight, removable plastic cover which allows access to concealed hydraulic steering and trim hoses.
The gimbal bracket assembly has been strengthened with addendum ears for the attachment of the integral steering cylinders. Trim and steering cylinders, multi-mounted to the gimbal ring, transfer stress loads back to transom, increasing strength and durability. A built-in seven-inch setback improves boat running attitude in selected applications.
Performance upgrades to the Bravo One XR drive include a new upper housing cover and rear drive cap with built-in tie-bar attachment. The drive also comes with a lengthened heavy-duty input shaft and built-in electronic trim and tilt sender for use with digital trim gauges. New 1.26:1 and 1.35:1 gear ratio options, in addition to the standard 1.50:1 gear ratio, enhance the versatility of the durable XR drive.
