MerCruiser Bravo Three X Sterndrive: Engineered for Superior Acceleration, Control & Efficiency
At Hammer Engines, we supply the genuine MerCruiser Bravo Three X Sterndrive – the heavy-duty evolution of Mercury Marine’s acclaimed dual-prop system. Designed for boats that demand quick hole-shot, precise marina maneuvering, and efficient cruising, the Bravo Three X is rated for gas engines up to 525 HP and diesel up to 370 HP in single or twin setups, with top speeds reaching 65 mph.
The signature contra-rotating dual propellers (up to 16″ diameter) eliminate torque steer, reduce bow rise, and give you unmatched low-speed control – perfect for docking, towing, or family cruising.
Key Features & Benefits
- Contra-Rotating Dual Propellers – Forward & aft props spin in opposite directions for lightning-fast acceleration, razor-sharp steering, and reduced bow lift for better visibility and quicker planing.
- X-Series Heavy-Duty Upgrades – High-strength smooth-shift cone clutch, larger rudder area, extended strut, MercFusion corrosion protection, and MerCathode system – built tougher than the standard Bravo Three for saltwater and high-load use.
