As I recall, the high bumps will have H on the eccentric ( bump ) ring
right near the + - markings. X and XR gears are high bumps, only std bravo’s
list it as being optional

What is this you speak of?

In 15 years of having a performance boat with a bravo drive, I have never heard of such lunacy!

(...If "performance boat" and Bravo should be in the same sentence is a whole other topic.)

It really doesn’t have anything to do with the gears, they just thread on to them

Mercury doesn’t even sell them separately, but others do

https://www.cpperformance.com/p-1682...hift-ring.aspx

Their primary function is to hammer ( by the cam action of the rotating ring)the shift fork and cone out of the driven gear, when shifting out of gear, they do to a lesser extent, help it shift into gear, there’s also a more robust shift link set up used with the high bumps due to the heavier load they experience
