2006 Bravo One HP

Mercury says the 2006 Bravo One drive is good for 400 HP,will it handle 450HP?

Yes it will, but as always it depends on the application and use. But I have seen others with much more power thru the B1. Just rememeber torque and heat will hurt a B1. So be easy on it when coming on plane and dont hammer the throttle at 2500rpm, wait till you get a few more revs.. and it should live a nice long life! Check and change the drive fluid at regular intervals..

Hope this helps

There's always a huge debate here on this...all I can say,from experience,ABSOLUTELY!!!Others will say,from their own experiences, absolutely not.Guess it's like anything else,u get a good one or a bad one.I have 3 Bravo 1's pushed by 500hp's w/220 hrs.I also have 2 pushed by 525's w/260 hrs.All 5 drives have had no service except for regular fluid changes.Guess I'm lucky to get 5 good one's:rolleyes:
