Bravo XR
 
Is Bravo one XR seacore for diesel motors ?

Unlimited jd 02-08-2023 03:27 PM

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.

Bulitz1 02-11-2023 09:31 AM

Performance wise there the same ? Or not

techman 02-11-2023 09:41 AM

Yes, same drive, different coating. To be honest why don't they just put that fancy coating on all their drives?


Bulitz1 02-11-2023 10:57 AM

Exactly !!!!
But just a question is there a bravo one xr for diesel motor ?

techman 02-11-2023 11:22 AM

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?

Unlimited jd 02-11-2023 02:19 PM

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

Griff 02-11-2023 09:41 PM

If its an XR then its an XR. Nothing different internally.

Thanks to all for your help !!

Bulitz1 04-12-2023 12:47 PM

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

Bulitz1 04-12-2023 01:39 PM

Thanks

Is your prop a solid hub? If so, you might need a different prop.

If it's got the replaceable plastic hub, yep ^^^^^, just get the 1.25 shaft hub.
