Xr Drives
 
How Can Someone Tell The Diff. Of A Standard Bravo And An Xr. The Reason Is That The Drives Have Be Painted Red And They Do Have The Xr Stickers. The Drives Were Painted By Mercury.thanks

Those two statements are correct for the XR and XZ. The upper gears is what you need to look at. The SN will tell you unless someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

Thanks to Mbam for providing this information.

Bravo, XR, ZR, IXR....they're all going to break on you, so what's the diff?

The carrier in the Xr, (looking behind the prop shaft) is blue all others are not.

Not true. I have XZ drives, and mine are blue!

Sailing is like being towed in after your drive breaks.. but I would rather get the tow..
