What are the differences and advantages/comparisons between the Bravo One, and the Bravo Three sterndrives?
The Bravo One is designed to excel under the high-stress requirements of today’s performance boats. Bravo One employs heavy duty shafts and bearings coupled to precision forged gears to withstand the heavy torque and thrust loads. A smart-styled, sleek, and strong hydrodynamic gearcase slices through the water at speeds in excess of 85 mph (137 km/h) without blowout. The state-of-the-art Bravo Three sterndrive system represents the ultimate in power for everything from runabouts to mid-size cruisers in the 40-60mph (64-97 km/h) range. The Bravo Three can provide faster acceleration, rail-like tracking through turns, and lower RPMs while cruising, to improve fuel economy. In simple terms, the Bravo Three utilizes the concept of counter rotation – two propellers turning in opposite directions – to counteract the listing some boat designs experience with a single prop sterndrive. For enhanced performance and efficiency, all Bravo sterndrives feature a quiet, smooth-shifting steel cone clu
