The R-Drive gearcase features a standard skeg length with a very efficient parabolic cross-section shape with left- or right-hand camber to balance steering force with standard and counter rotation props. Designed to perform in submerged and transition applications on boats capable of speeds between 85 and 100mph.

Mercury Racing 500R Cold Fusion White R-DRIVE SPORT

The R-Drive Sport is optimized for surfacing applications at speeds beyond 100 mph. Its longer skeg maintains steering control while operating fully surfaced at the high mounting positions desirable for many of the fastest hulls.
