I think there are plenty of people running 500 HP's through Bravos on cats without to many problems.

Are both drives difficult to shift?

Have they always been difficult to shift?

The shift cables were checked and adjusted many times by a Mercury tech.

Shifting with over hub Mercury racing clevers was fair, Bravo ones aggrevated the situation, probably because they don't slip as much.

The port, which turns counterclockwise, is worse.

Does the B-Max have this problem with low ratios and high pitch props?? They still use cone clutch shifting mechanisims.

Thanks for the replys.

Did anyone read the IMCO SC article in Hot Boat last month?
They indicated they noticed this shifting difficulty and mey have improved the condition. They did some modification to the seating of the cone contact area!!
