Re: Bravo 1 Drive Showers

Been boating since 90. Only experience is we put on a set for free and it slowed our race boat down 2 MPH. took them off and got the 2 back. Never had a problem racing for 6 years without them and have a 29 with twin 502s and a 35 with 525s and NEVER had a problem. Roger

Any water that may get on it from the exhaust wont helo anyway for a few reasons. The water coming out of the exhaust is not cold, the water that may get on the drives from the exhaust is not consistant & there would not be enough water going on to them to make a difference. The drive shower keeps a constant bath of cool water on the upper housing..

I hope this helps to explain what, why & how..

Thanks fo the explanation.

Yea Gary I hear you - really dont want to take a drill to my cav plates - they look so purdy the way they are. Lavorsi does have one that fits our steering - just screw it in the top hole and get out the drill. Lavorsi also has an upper case temp guage. I believe it screws into the upper case filler vent
