The Konrad 540 PRS has proven to be a fantastic alternative for the obsolete MERCRUISER TRS® Stern drive system. The 540 PRS package is a direct bolt-on replacement for the aging TRS with no hull modifications necessary. With hundreds of successful conversions on the water, it has proven to handle greater power levels with unparalleled durability and performance. Most conversions can be completed within a day's work
