Re: Merc's new look for the XR drive
Konrad is working on a shiftable outdrive now. Heard from P4-33, they sponsor him.

Re: Merc's new look for the XR drive
It looks like an omc king cobra drive. They also shift way better than the old ones.

Re: Merc's new look for the XR drive
Question: Why do we need a new XR drive, don't the old ones break often enough?

Re: Merc's new look for the XR drive
Volvo's patents must have run out, I mean they didn't even release the bravo drive until the cone-clutch patent volvo owned ran out...now it looks like a Volvo..only painted black.

Re: Merc's new look for the XR drive
I kinda like the look, but then I own Volvos. :rolleyes: I suppose that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Too bad they aren't really any stronger.... :blaster: CMG - I've got a "mini-van" you might not like to meet on the water. Ask Shane, Tantrum, DaveP, SOX, or RAddiction. 92+. With a DuoProp. :D |

Re: Merc's new look for the XR drive
Yup! She looks like a volvo/omc offshoot! You would think that with all the marketshare Mercruiser has out there they would want to impress. They sure didn't do their OSO poll research before they let that one out of the box!!!

Re: Merc's new look for the XR drive
You have to bear in mind that 95% of the Bravos made go on "everyday" boats. High-performance installations are pretty much a sideline for Mercury. Mercury Racing, on the other hand, would probably love to see a really new drive.
