Service Tips
When replacing only half of your drive, upper or lower, it's important to service the other half to avoid damage to the replacement. The half that's not being replaced should be disassembled, cleaned, inspected and resealed.
Core Value
Core value is primarily based on the condition of your housing and shafts. You'll receive a core-return label for sending your core back--do not return it without the proper label. Core credit is only given for the same part that is being ordered. Example: An MR drive has no core value towards the purchase of an Alpha I.
Complete Drive Savings
Complete drive savings only apply when a complete drive is ordered. If both lower and upper are ordered separately at different times, full individual prices apply, even if they're ordered within a short period of time.
New Units
New units listed here are either re-boxed Mercruiser, or assembled with all new parts.
All units are shipped without oil! Be sure to use the proper oil and filling technique listed in your owner's/service manual.
