Problems with Boat Lower Units Replacement
Most Asked Questions
What's the difference between a remanufactured, aftermarket, and new OEM lower unit?
Remanufactured is your exact unit rebuilt to OEM specs using genuine OEM parts — near-new performance at a fraction of new OEM cost.
Aftermarket is built new by a third-party to OEM specs with aftermarket parts at a lower price point.
New OEM is factory-built by your engine’s manufacturer — the best available.
Not sure which is right for you? Call us and we’ll tell you straight.
Will this lower unit fit my engine?
It will fit if correct specs are given to us. Provide us your engine model number or serial number and we’ll confirm compatibility before you order. Forty years of experience — we don’t guess.
How fast will my order ship?
We try our best to ship your unit out in 24 hours, most times we ship them out the same day it was ordered. Some units may need to be built in house.
