Gear and Starter Drive assy

The gears and pinions in your Evinrude, Johnson, or OMC outboard motor are subjected to immense stress. Saltwater, cavitation, and wear can compromise their efficiency and, in the worst cases, cause irreparable damage to the lower unit. Don't take chances: choose genuine or equivalent quality replacement parts, tested to withstand the harshest marine conditions.

Periodically check the condition of your gears and pinion, looking for signs of corrosion, excessive wear, or damaged teeth. Regular inspections can prevent sudden failures and costly repairs.

Replacement: When is it Necessary?

Replacement of gears and pinions is necessary when you encounter:

* Unusual noises coming from the lower unit
* Difficulty engaging gears
* Loss of power
* Excessive play between the gears
* Visible damage (corrosion, broken teeth)

Compatibility: A Crucial Aspect

Ensure that the replacement parts you purchase are compatible with the specific model of your engine. Verify the original part numbers and, if in doubt, consult a qualified mechanic. An incorrect gear or pinion can cause serious engine damage.
