Drive shower advice
 
Hi
Does anyone know what driveshower is better to use on a Bravo 1 drive? Simreks Halo or The Power shower with a shower cap from Hardin Marine?

If I were looking for the latest technology and the best looking drive shower ever made, I'd wait another 30 days. I have a feeling a new unit will be available for all Bravo drives including the ITS, Bravo X, and Bravo XR's.

I have read that the Simrek tends to encourage turbulence around the prop and cause ventilation problems, is there any truth to that? I have an Alpha SS and was wanting to invest in a drive shower and had planned on a Simrek until I heard this. I already have a hell of a time getting the prop to bite in turns do to the rather high X dimension. I still want a drive shower, but not at the expense of traction. I would also like to know everyone recommendations.

I had a single tube drive shower on my high x- dim. drive and it ventilated took it off no ventilation. Why do they work on some and not others?

No ventilation problems on my Velocity 280.

I'd rather not let my hand down just yet, but the concerns that have been brought up are valid. I've had the cavitation scenario happen more than once.
