1.35 or 1.50????
What are the bennifits of the 1.35 vs the 1.50 gears in a bravo. Thanks Scott

a 136 gear allows you to run a smaller pitch prop at the same engine rpm as a bigger wheel. Or the same prop at a lower rpm or a taller prop at the same rpm for more speed if you can turn it.

If you can pull it, then yes. A 136 will run faster at the same rpm with the same prop as a 150.

No reason to go with a 1.36 over a 1.50 unless you are running out prop pitch.

1.36:1 ratio can be a little less stressful on the drive if you are able to achieve the speeds you are looking for with a smaller prop. A plus for a heavy boat like yours.

as stated the 1:36 is for use when prop pitch is no longfer a help. OR, you can use the 1:36 ratio to increaes prop speed . you'll turn a smaller wheel at the same engine rpm but have increased prop speed which will help handling at top speeds. especially near the 100 and above mark and on vee's.
