ITS Driveshaft & U-joints
Anyone with technical information about why mercruiser changed the driveshaft u-joint design on the Bravo 1 with ITS.
I need to replace my coupler end driveshaft on the old design but it is not sold separately, Instead you must purchase the newer design assembly with u-joints, socket and both driveshaft ends. Before I did that, I thought I should find out wether it was a strength issue or merc just changing vendors as there is an old design assembly available for about 200 bucks less.

Re: ITS Driveshaft & U-joints
since your into it maybe you can answer a question for me. I have a i.t.s. with the bravo xz drive and I'm putting on a xr drive. do you have to change the shaft or use just bolt up.
