Intuitive, innovative features

Drive-specific props

Mercury crafted five prop sets specifically for the Bravo Four S drive’s contra-rotating configuration. They are optimised to enhance grip, reduce noise and boost efficiency.

A complete surf system

We have simplified driving for tow sports by integrating the drive with a VesselView® display and the Smart Tow® system. All you do is select the activity, speed and wake you want. The system makes the necessary adjustments to deliver exactly what you asked for every time.

Precision MerCathode

Standard with Bravo drives, the MerCathode® system is a powerful electronic corrosion inhibitor that automatically and constantly fights back against galvanic corrosion.

Sterndrive versatility

You can do more with your surf boat thanks to the steerable, trimmable drive. Use the trim to dial in the wake for surfing or adjust the running attitude while cruising. Or just raise it up to join your friends on the sandbar.

Standard DTS

Premium, smooth Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) controls come as standard with the Bravo Four S drive and enhance every on-water activity, whether docking at the marina, cruising across the lake or laying out the perfect wake.

Low speed control

Bravo Four S gear ratios are optimised for getting big, heavily loaded surf boats on plane at low speeds and keeping them there for an ideal surfing experience.
