Bravo Three
Efficient. Maneuverable. Unbeatable.
Single or twin applications up to 65 mph for gas engines up to 525 hp
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.
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
- 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 55 mph
- Twin props & large rudder area with Bravo Three allows uncompromised handling for single-engine boats up to 65 mph
- Trim limit switch trims drive angle for maximum performance every time
- Through-Prop exhaust maximizes power and reduces noise levels
