Boat sterndrive problems. As pleasure boats grew in size during the 70s and 80s buyers wanted more power. During our visit to Mercury Marine Canada Jerry Sims walks us through some of the maintenance requirements for a typical sterndrive and reminds us why this. My boat with a mercruiser engine and sterndrive died suddenly as if someone had pulled the plug on it or a critical fuse had blown.

Throughout our 60 years of marine manufacturing weve witnessed the evolution of sterndrive motors. Now this is where I need help. SEIs drives come standard with a three-year fault-free warranty.

Sterndrive Engineerings Outdrives are not remanufactured they are entirely new. Sterndrive motor boats are less stable than inboard motor boats. If the boat is worth more than 10.

Each of these usually requires grease to function properly. As this will be costly to maintain due to continual corrosion problems and general degradation of seals etc. The sterndrive can be trimmed lessening that to as little as 13 inches.

The first time out seemed to be better than this time. Change oils anodes gaskets etc which will require a haul-out or slipping. One boat is a shaft or V-drive and the other is a twin sterndrive.

Even the first Volvo stern drive was rated at 80 HP and with the growing automotive engine power sterndrives became the go-to product. But in shallow waters as a jet pulls water into the pump for propulsion it can also suck up stones weeds or debris. Replace bellows and clamps every 12 months.
