Outdrive Care

Do Not Let Your Outdrive Go Unchecked

The outdrive is one of the most overlooked parts of the boat, mostly because it stays out of sight and out of mind until something goes wrong. Bellows, u-joints, and seals wear over time, and by the time a problem becomes noticeable it can already mean water intrusion or a larger repair.

Our Process

How We Service Every Outdrive

01

Inspection

We check the outdrive and its seals for wear or damage before any other work begins.

02

Gear Lube Service

We check the gear lube and replace it as needed to keep the lower unit properly lubricated.

03

Bellows & U-Joint Check

We inspect the bellows and u-joints, which are common failure points that lead to water intrusion if they are missed.

04

Pressure Testing

We pressure test the lower unit to catch leaks before they turn into bigger problems.

05

Reassembly & Test

We reassemble everything and run a test to confirm it is operating correctly before your boat leaves the shop.

Questions

Outdrive Service & Repair FAQ

Unusual noise, vibration, difficulty shifting, or milky looking gear lube are all signs worth having checked. If you notice any of these, it is worth having our shop take a look.

At least once a season, since the bellows are a common failure point that can lead to water intrusion if a problem is missed.
