This is Jason with Germaine Marine. Hard data would
Be best served getting directly from Indmar. The v drive reduction change is equivalent to a significant increase in to the water torque that is not power band dependent. Its a significant bump across the entire range. What makes it so good is that it allows you to squeeze pitch/diameter numbers that were otherwise unattainable. The net gain is having a significant increase in low end without the big loss of cruise speed. The new drive train for example is able to spin a 15x18 with ease. The new gear reduction and big pitch allows the boat to have big bottom without the net loss of top end speed attributed when having to prop down because of being short on torque with big weight.
Benefits...
-wider usable power range
-lower surf RPM
-higher cruise speeds
-more prop options
-happier boating![]()
