I have heard there is a difference in the gimble bearing between a xr and a regular bravo 1 . if this is so can I install the bearing for the xr in anticipation of a upgrade ? Or is there a difference in the inside diameter , where the driveshaft would be installed into ?

If my memory serves me correctly, I believe that the Xr bearing has added clearance for the bigger U joints. The shaft diameter I believe is the same if memory serves me correctly. Also I think the real late model bravo transom assemblies have the bearing that will work on all of the bravos, however I dont recall what year that started for sure..
hope it helps.. Jamie / Lakeside
