Post a picture of the drive. Yes if it's all white and chalky you need a shower. That's from the water boiling on the drive.It's the stream and left over deposits. Make sure your changing your drive oil regularly also if it's like that.hoghead54 wrote: Mon Dec 18, 2017 11:23 pm A drive shower looks like something I'd like to add to my boat. I understand that it will help keep the water deposits down on the drive also. Being my outdrive is pretty white from build up being as Utah water seems to have a lot of minerals in it. How do I tell which Merc drive I have being all the stickers on it are so faded you can't read them?

Re: Have a Bravo Three? You need a Simrek drive shower
When I got the boat I couldn't figure out why the drive would be so white just thought it was water spots that the prev.owner never took care of but after reading this i'm pretty sure I know what it is. I'll change the drive oil before I take it out this spring. What is best mineral or synthetic?....that should start a Ford vs Chevy type discussion ;-}. What weight of oil?

Just use toilet bowl gel cleaner to clean/wash it first. Most of it all come off. May have to use a soft brush.
No debating oil or trucks on this site.lol. We use Mercedes AMG, Bmw, Dodge, Ford,Chevy,hybrid dodge things to pull 263's just for you A7
we don't care as long as it makes it to the lake and we get the boat wet. Thats all that counts on here:-)

I guess it's official?Ever wonder what the plural is for Toyota’s Prius? It’s been something of a gray area to our copy editors, and now that there’s a Prius V, a plural word for the vehicle could come in handy.
Before we could make up our minds, Toyota decided today that the plural form is “Prii” (pronounced PREE-eye). That decision was the result of a marketing campaign in which Toyota asked the public about the plural possibilities: “Prius,” “Priuses,” “Prii,” “Priem,” or “Pri.”
“Prii” received 25%. “Prius” came in a close second with 24%.
