- 5.0 Mercruiser w/Bravo III drives
I was raised a auto mechanic and was a industrial machine repairer/electrician for 20 years. I'm now happily just an electrician. So, I have some background.
My questions are,(if money wasn't a factor), how feasible it would be to install that indmar raptor 575 on a 240 sundancer? Would the standard Bravo III handle the torque? Do all marine motors use the same mounts and output shafts?
I have seen several posts that the 260hp mercruiser is underpowering the 240. After only a few weeks of owning one, I have to agree. I understand I'm not piloting my 180 bowrider, anymore. But, I feel they should have left the 260 out of the option list.
