Change Bravos to XR or XZ???
 

I blew up an outdrive this weekend. I have a 38 Donzi with Bravos and when I rebuild them I want the new XZ or XR drives.

Can I use the same upperhousing and what is the differences between the XR and XZ drives?

Which gears should I go with???

whats up clark, This is Jason ,Jimmy's buddy, sorry to hear about your drive, another freind of mine had the same thing happen, and bought new Bravo xr it's a single engine and cost him 6,600 through BAM Marine

Hey Jason, Thanks for the info. I have the 5 year Z care warranty on my boat so money nots the issue, its getting them to cover the repair.

Winter been good in Austin, Been in the boat every weekend for the past month.

The weather is not as good here but screw it I've been out 5 weeks in a row

What power?

XZ's are a little faster than the XR's

I am running th 500 EFI for power

From my experience Z-Care will try to find reason not to pay for the Outdrive. Just keep on them till they do.

Personally I would go with the XZ's then unless your planning on more power in the future.

I haven't heard of the XZ's blowing up with stock power and I still hear some problems with the XR. I have an XR on my Pantera with a 575sci. no problems but only 10 hours too.

Sea-min, your standard B1 housing can be upgraded with XZ or XR gears. The XR upgrade is a little more extensive and expensive.
