What We Service

Sterndrives Kept In Shape

We service and repair MerCruiser Alpha and Bravo drives and Volvo Penta outdrives, from seasonal service to tracking down leaks and noise.

The outdrive sits in the water all season, so seals, bellows, and gear lube take a beating. Regular service catches water in the gear oil, worn bellows, and corrosion before they turn into a failed drive.

  • Gear lube change
  • Bellows inspection
  • Seals and gaskets
  • Water pump impeller
  • Anodes
  • Propeller check

How It Works

Our Outdrive Process

Four steps from your request to a drive that is sealed and ready.

  1. Inspect

    We check the gear lube, bellows, seals, and anodes and look for leaks or damage.

  2. Quote

    You get a clear plan and price, including any repairs we find.

  3. Service

    Lube, seals, and wear parts are replaced as needed.

  4. Test

    The drive is checked for leaks and proper operation before your boat goes back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Outdrive Questions

A complete outdrive service covers the gear lube and a check of the bellows, seals, anodes, and overall condition of the drive. We tell you about anything that needs repair before work begins.

Most boaters service the drive once a year, often in the fall before storage.

Milky gear oil usually means water is getting past a seal, which should be checked before the next outing.
