are these the only inboard/outboard drives available? i saw a scarab in the pictures section with what looked like a set of merc bravo 2 look alikes. i couldnt tell much by the pic. im just wondering what my options are? i like the mhz drives there just kinda pricy. im going to be using whatever i buy with a 58-70 inch v-hull and a pair of g-260's. thanks for all the help.

There are a couple, but some are limited on "new." You still might be able to track down some RCMK Copies of the MHZ units. There are some differences from the "early" version to the updated version of the MHZ unit as well. The older ones required that you Loctite the drive shaft into the end of the stub shaft of the drive. The "newer" version uses a square-end drive shaft and collet...

The newer MHZ drive also has a screw in the skeg used to help change/ad drive lube (like a Merc Bravo drive). It is very convenient. Do a search on the site for RCM and MHZ drives and you will find a ton of info. In addition, there is a fella that goes by Justaddwata that is VERY well informed...he has built and used a ton.

There is another company that makes a version as well... you will have to chek them out. I am not familiar with their work, yet.

I have a pair of the MHZ S6 drives and really like them. Yes, they are expensive, but the scale look and performance is VERY tough to match/beat. I have them mated to a Blata 40 and a gear box and am having lots of fun (and getting lots of attention while on shore).

That is my $0.02...hope it has helped
