DriveGuardian
 

Has anyone used a "DriveGuardian" in place of the bravo coupler? If so, it what setup, and how good is it?

the Saris guys.

Yes, I read that in Speed on the Water Mag. Just checking if anyone else has used it? If its as great as they say in the Magazine, then one would think that everyone that runs bravos with any power in front of them would be using them. I don't believe most articles in magazines, as they are usually very biased in there articles.

I would take stock in what Saris Racing says.

As far as I know Smith Brothers Racing, Boxer racing both OPA teams, Mikes had them on his 42` Fountain... there are multiple other race teams signed up for next year also...
Yes you are correct I also think every overpowered bravo should be running them.:bananalove:
For my bellhousing SSM version set up it was a really tight fit, hopefully that will be solved this winter and then I`ll be running a set.

ah,,Boxer racing may have 1 actual race w/ it..maybe a few fun runs and a river run.Hardly a test.He wasn't known in the past for blowing drives up either.Even when he was faster than he is now.

Thought Mike has 6's on his boat?????

The SSM version now works with top or bottom mount starters and with, or without oil coolers built into the bell housing so you are all set!

GF?

I do have sixes but the combination of 6-blade Herings and Lake Michigan waves resulted in some very expensive drive repair bills...every year. I have two full seasons running DriveGuardian and haven't had an issue since.

Not saying anything against the drive guardian but just observations on OSO. Everyone posting on it are buddies with the guy who developed it. they seem to steer everyone in to the illusion its all great and it just might be but when everyone commenting on it are from the same town, city, state, area then it gets suspicious.

Saris, well this is the same guy who bragged that he never broke a bravo when he was racing because he did such a great job building them, his statements not mine, and then when he gets the this device he publicly states it will end his bravo failures? Certainly conflicting stories and which do we want to believe? Certainly bsing about one of them. This device should work, what does it cost, what is the maintenance and how long will it last are the only real questions that should be asked and answered
