Description
The unique Bravo Two Diesel drives have an unmatched ability to maximize lift and thrust without breaking a sweat for cruisers and houseboats. Due to the girth of the gearcase, Bravo Two Diesel is capable of accommodating a huge 20-inch diameter prop with deeper gear ratios. This allows the Bravo Two Diesel to deliver high thrust around the dock, quick planing and improved fuel economy – putting you in control. Maintenance-free hinge pins allow for easy service without having to pull the boat from the water.
Designed to deliver the thrust and lift that big cruisers and houseboats require, Bravo Two series drives are available in twin applications for petrol engines up to 450hp and deliver speeds up to 55mph.
Due to their long-length design and the girth of the gearcase, Bravo Two drivesw can easily accommodate a huge 20-inch diameter prop with deeper gear ratios, providing high thrust, quick planing and improved fuel economy.
Maintenance-free hinge pins allow for easy service without having to haul the boat, while permanent pivot points minimise maintenance time – meaning your boat spends less time in the shop and more time on the water.

- Precision shimmed near-net forged helical steel gears for quiet operation and durability.
- XK360 low copper alloy for corrosion resistance.
- Tri-Paint System (Irridite, EDP & Powder Paint) creates a tough, durable corrosion resistant barrier.
