Mercury Marine recently unveiled its newest offering in the line of drive systems for MerCruiser engines, specifically designed to create the perfect wake.
The new Bravo Four S forward‑facing drive with Smart Tow controls allows the driver to control the perfect launch acceleration, towing speed and wake characteristics at the touch of a button. Its digital controls coordinate ballast, surf tabs and propulsion settings under one single, easy-to-use interface.
“We carefully studied all the refinements that go into optimizing a boat’s wake for each of the various tow sports and devised a system to make those settings easy for the boater,” says Tim Reid, Mercury vice president of product development and engineering.
“Whether boaters are veteran wakesurfers or new to tow sports, the Bravo Four S forward-facing drive delivers the power to do it safely and reliably in combination with proven MerCruiser 4.5‑liter V6, 6.2‑liter V8 and 8.2‑liter V8 sterndrive engines ranging from 250 hp to 430 hp.”
Mercury SmartCraft digital technologies come standard with the Bravo Four S, along with the SmartCraft Digital Throttle and Shift system that helps create precise control when towing riders.
Whether wakeboarding, wakesurfing or doing other towsports activities, the Bravo Four S offers enhanced maneuverability and creates perfect wakes with a simple touch of the digital display. Visit mercurymarine.com to learn more.
