swapping out trs to bravo?
 

running borg warner trans and trs drives.. so sick of not finding parts for the trs can i moun t a bravo one up to the trans what would be involved?

also i do not want a konrad dont have the money

thanks

You have alot of work ahead of you. Search the forum been done a bunch

Theoretically, yes..but it would be redundant and eat extra horsepower. you need to either plug the transom or redo the enitre thing. then either move the motors back or have driveshafts made. If your within the power limits of a bravo, you would a little gain. If your tearing up TRS's left and right, your going to be having bravos for lunch.

There's a lot of TRS parts out there. You just need to know where to look. If your looking at dealers that's your problem. They stopped making them in 1993. There's a lot of parts on ebay and in the classified section here as well as other classifieds. You would be better off to get another boat then to try to switch yours to a bravo. Never heard of anyone mounting a bravo to a Borg-Warner. Check around marina's. You might be able to find a used drive cheap for doner parts.

so you can have a driveshaft made were the old borg warner tranny was? to go to the bravo?

i dont have alot of power the bravos will handle it
my trs are all corroded and pited nice shiny stuff on the back would look nice

If you were going to swap to a bravo setup you would move your engine back and there would be no need for a driveshaft in place of where the B-W was. You would be using the complete bravo set up. You can get a shiny used TRS a lot cheaper than all the Bravo parts you will need to convert and their going to be used also. If you don't have enough power to worry about using a Bravo your never going to break a TRS.

i just figured removing the bw trans would be one less thing to go wrong with the boat

omc conversion plates
 

met a guy named rob whitfield? "i think" out at summers marine on lake st clair. he had omc 2 bravo conversion plates on his boat and installed bravos in place of his trs's. he said it was a very easy rerig and picked up 10mph. only bad part was the conversion plates cost over a grand each. would be easy to water jet something up and make your own i would think. good luck!

Merc used to make a plate for the swap. It was a kit actually as I recall that had a drive shaft set up as well. I remember seeing one on OSO a LONG time ago.

Transmissions are used in lots of boats and they work well. All the # drive boats have transmissions, so keep that in mind. Don't forget that when you move your engines back you will also need to relocate all the mounting, wiring......... Exhaust will need to be modified. The list is/can be quite long. TRS drives are VERY strong and can be purchased cheap enough. Parts as has been said are easy to find if you know were to look. IMO you could buy 4 TRS drives for the price of this conversion and then you will never have down time.
