Best drive shower Bravo X?
 
Since I am upgrading my drive to a Bravo X, I am unsure if my current drive shower will fit (Bravo 1) since the new drive is a swept back unit. What is the best drive shower out on the market? I have looked at the drill-less twin pick up from driveshowers.com, any input would be great.

If you are upgrading to a BravoX , make sure you have the correct gimbal bearing and spacers in the trim rams.

As for drive shower, what one do currently have?

Drive and upgrade kit (spacer & Gimbal bearing) are on its way. I am not sure what current shower I have as it was on the boat when I bought it, never seen one like it before. I ended up buying a Halo from driveshowers.com.

I just helped a friend switch from a standard bravo to a X and he used this shower.

His Imco steering made his options limited.

I just had two new X drives installed last month and used the same drive shower from my Bravo 1 drive. Attaches to the top of my Lathem steering plate.

I think most of the sweptbacks have the finned top cap.

you will like the simrek halo, i've tubed behind my boats and can tell you it dumps twice the water that the cap syle does, old boat had the imco setup, also the simrek does clear the drive cap for imco steering

It clears the rear IMCO cap?
