Bravo XR
Is Bravo one XR seacore for diesel motors ?
|
Sea core is just a different coating on the drive for harsh salt water environments. On the transom assemblies a few parts are replaced with stainless steel. At least this is what I was told
|
Same internals as regular Merc drives

|
The top cap on the Seacore does not appear to be finned like an XR, but the propshaft does look like the correct size for an XR.
|
Performance wise there the same ? Or not
|
Yes, same drive, different coating. To be honest why don't they just put that fancy coating on all their drives?
|
Exactly !!!!
But just a question is there a bravo one xr for diesel motor ? |
Yes, the diesel B1 comes in X and XR versions.

How you recognise a bravo 1 XR form diesel to gas ?
I think gas motors will more high performance? |
There is no difference besides ratio. Any bravo x or XR can go behind a gas engine. They all work and perform the same no matter the stickers or coating on the outside.
The “diesel” drives are typically a higher ratio. So if you need a 1.5 ratio any x or xr 1.5 will work |
If its an XR then its an XR. Nothing different internally.

Thanks to all for your help !!

Ok got it ! Open the box and the propeller dosent fit. The prop shaft is much bigger !
from what I read there is 1” and 1.25” so I am assuming mine is 1.25 ? Or there are more sizes ? |
All XR's are 1.25 prop shaft from Merc, buy the 1.25 hub and you're good
|
Thanks
