The new level of outboard power demands all-new gear case options. Introducing the exclusive Mercury Racing R-Drive, available in R-Drive and R-Drive Sport versions, this high-performance gear case is designed specifically for the speed and power of the 500R outboard in submerged, semi-surfacing and full surfacing applications.
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.
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.
The Mercury Racing V8 500R produces unrelenting thrust that establishes a new standard for all-out performance.
