Here's a pic of the new Konrad Ace system. It's a variation of the proven Konrad 540 drive.

Re: Konrad ace = # 3?????
Konrad has an auto trans (BAM 1350)with gears and shafts in the case and Merc's is a manual type trans with is a dry sump. The Merc is also a dry sump gear case.
The Konrad can be had NOW!
Mercs can be had soon with the 700sci but may be never without the engine so Merc says at this time.

Re: Konrad ace = # 3?????
If Mercury ever makes the new their new Ace drive avaiiable less a motor attached I would suspect the biggest difference will be the !! PRICE !!. The difference here could be substantial. Unless people are interested in ordering their new boat with or buying a new 700SC/Ace combo from Mercury, forget about this new drive. You guys are just waisting oxygen and busy jaw flapping!. Lets talk about something that is now and can really happen!

Same difference?
Same difference?
Two totally different designs. By the way, the Ace name will remain in the Konrad line up. I've heard Mercury has something in the works.
