-r-, WEMYr FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 191989, PAGE 33 MerCruitser extends Bravo series with new ui The introduction of a rugged ne-w - irve, unit. especiallv designed for faniily cruisers with a top speed of leas than 45-miîles-per-hour, extends the Bravo series fromn MerCruiser Stern Drives and Inboards. Dubbed the 'Bravo Two,' the new unit is targeted for those applications which. require more propeller thrust than is available with the ' Bravo One' drive unit introduced last year. The new design bas a larger gearcase housing and heay duty gears, shafts and bearings te accept Quicksilver propeilers up to 20-inches in diameter. The Bravo Two drive unit is availabIe on four different models: the 5.7-litre, 270-hp and 7.4-litre, 330-hp gas models; and the 530D-TA, five-cylinder, 150-hp and 636D-TA six-cylinder, 180-hp diesel models. The new diesel units are turbo-charged, and after-cooled and their standard features include a Bosch fuel injection system, closed fresh water coling and a 75-amp alternator. Counter-rotation is available with the Bravo Two. A simple. cable attachment allows the drive te be easily set up for left-hand or right-hand rotation. Counter-rotation offsets the effect U~ p ler us ntwin engine nsatins, resuting in 'easier handling and low speed maneuverability. MerCruiser's counter-rotation system lininates the need fir a special left-hand rotation drive in twin applications. It also makes replacement parts less expensive and more accessible since coinmon parts can be used for both drive systems. To reduce the cost and inconvenience of hauling a big boat out -of the water for routine maintenance, the Bravo series propulsion systems have a seawater pump located on the engine. And MerCathode II corrosion protection is standard equipment; it eliminates the need to inspect and replace the zinc anodes on the stern drive. MerCruiser bas added a gear lube monitor that allows -the diive unit lubricant to be checked froin inside the boat. This new monitor is equipped with- an* audio warning system- that. sounds when the gpar lube level- falis below the recommended level. The Bravo Two shares a number of features common with the Bravo One, including: * A newly designed flame arrestor cover to provide greater protection from the elements. *A high-rise flaine arrestor to allow the engine to breathe better, adding extra horsepower to the crankshaft. * An oul filter mounted on top of the enge for easy access. * PlusPower exhaust significantly reduces engins back presure, bootirig horsepower, for increased speed, acceleration and fuel economy. * Complets stairess steel grounding system to ensure good continuity between ail underwater components, allowing 1SEE PAGE 35 ?I.B.
