The Mercruiser II TRS drive is stronger than the Mercruiser Bravo drive.

I've been looking into this for awhile and would be very interested.I have a merc 1 trans.and thats the weak link in my
system and would like to get rid of it because ther is no room to go forward and add a better trans.

Greg P, I agree with you, It seems to me all my buddies with bravo's seem to break sooner or later. I have an old Scarab with TRS and have only had one problem in 5 yrs of boating. Sure we suffer a little speed loss, a little hp loss, but it sure is nice to go boating every weekend and not worry about your drives

John, we are working on that right now. The TRS upper seldom fails. Neither does the Bravo lower. What do you think it would be worth from a money standpoint? As you can guess just about anything is possible, but would it be worth $4000 or so for the new lower and adapter?

If it included a freshened upper (old one as core) and new lower and the 5-6 mph speed increase is real ... probably.

Would that price include an adapter and a Bravo lower?

Much too rich for me. If it was for two of them it would still be too much.

Reading on the Arneson web site, $14K sounds like a good deal considering what you get.

External hydraulic steering, a drive, a stand off box and a BAM tranny.

Compare that to what an Imco cost, plus steering, plus standoff box. Or even compare it to what the Bmax cost. 14K sounds realistic.

Marc tell us some more about what you have in mind. If it's for a bravo lower I think it might be a step backwards ?
