    V’s to avoid

    I'm a marine mechanic with 38 years experience, I used to specialize in stern drives. If you can do the labor, sterndrives can be more affordable than outboards, but there is much more than can go wrong in a stern drive than an outboard. 30 years ago I would have rather had a stern drive...

The only place you need a deep cycle battery, is if you are planning on deep cycling it, meaning running the battery down to low power. If you have a trolling motor or battery bank with an invertor...

    Outdrive Replacement

    personally I think their installation cost is a bit high unless theres more to it that explained. I've used SEI outdrives and lower units in the past. I had a 50% failure rate with them. They took care if it, but I still had to pay shipping and eat the labor, so I lost money on every one that...
