Ordered a new prodrive this week. Peck said the new motors are coming with a stainless exhaust now. Anyone seen these exhast??

They look just like the regular stock exhaust except they are stainless,at least thats what the one I have seen looks like.

the motors also come with a 50 amp charging system instead of 20. they have a different ignition with a lighter flywheel???that is supposed to idle better and have better throttle response. and also a different fuel pump set up so there are no problems with vapor lock or a need for an external fuel pump. i will be pickin up my rig next weekend or the week after and i will post up some pics and a review when i get it.

THAT IS AWEET I THINK THEY ALL SHOULD COME WITH A STOCK STAILESS EXHAUST OR AL LEAST HAVE THE OPTION

kyle at GT said that briggs has been working on building a SS exhaust for a few months. Glad they are willing to try to do something that will help the MM guys, even thought we are a small percentage of their customers.

50AMPS? Sweet! Now I can install a full radio system system that will bounce my rig all the way down the bayou

Here is a pic of a stainless briggs exhaust with about 30 hours on it

Thanks for the picture. So its the same exhaust style, just in stainless. I think he also said it has a built in rev limiter also.

Whats this built in rev limiter about. I know there is a govenor system built in the older motors.

Is it electical or what? The gov. kicks in at 4250, so what is the point of changing it?

i have the ss mufflers with 147 hrs looks great and is holding up well. these are/were proto types send straight from briggs at the time...
so i do not know if they are any different than the ones in production

Hey dog walker is it possible for a briggs service center to replace the charging system on older motors with the 50 amp charging system?

That I do not know,if it would just be the stator and rectifier it would not be bad but I don't know what else you would have to change to switch over

I need that new system bad!!!! I'm sure everyone else feels the same way....20 amps sucks if I idle to long it wears my battery out!!! Froggin is hell on a battery!!!

Ifin' the new Briggs is comin' with stanless mufflers ..... it looks like thay would have a part number fo the replacement.

This new chargins system came out in 2003...

It does not show the 61 Series (35 HP) motor but it shows the 54 Series (31 HP).

Need a Briggs guy to explain why its not listed for the 35 HP as an option.

Them bastards know that is a must on MM why the hell isn't it a standard Item on all of them!!!! I'm callin prodrive tomorrow!!!!

details of the new motor better explained

- Digital CDI Ignition that allows motors to run at a low idle or trolling
speed. This is ideal for docking, decoy retrieval and trailering.

- Lighter Flywheel means a more responsive engine.

- Stainless Steel Muffler resists corrosion
in saltwater and brackish water.

- High-Capacity Fuel Pump
runs cooler and delivers
better performance.

- 20/50 Amp Alternator to run
electronic clutches, a fish
finder, GPS, running lights,
finder lights, or a radio.

I just ordered 4 of em' for this season you can frog with em, shoot ducks with em hell you can even fuk with em on!!!!
