Contra-rotating propellers

Dual props rotating in opposite directions provide big benefits for performance, including quick acceleration, responsive handling, reduced bow lift for better visibility and fast planing speeds for enhanced efficiency. 

Performance
Power Trim XD

By moving the power trim pump inside the hull, we have virtually eliminated corrosion before it can start and made it easy to check or service the system while the boat is in the water. 

Performance
MercFusion paint system

From start to finish, MerCruiser drives are engineered tough, right down to a multi-part paint system that creates a durable outer seal against the elements. 

Performance
Precision MerCathode

Standard with Bravo drives, the MerCathode® system is a powerful electronic corrosion inhibitor that automatically and constantly fights back against galvanic corrosion. 

Performance
Easy-check drive lube monitor

Routine drive lube checks are a breeze. You can check the level and quality of the lube from the engine compartment, and there is an audible warning that will alert you if the lube gets low.
