OEM, Remanufactured or Aftermarket: You decide
Comprehensive Guide to Gearcase Education: Final Installment
Welcome to the final chapter of our Gearcase Education series. Over the past few days, we’ve explored essential gearcase terminology and the various options available for replacing your lower unit. Let’s recap the three primary replacement methods we’ve covered:
- Purchasing a New Gearcase Made Overseas
- Buying a New OEM Gearcase
- Selecting a Rebuilt Lower Unit from a Reputable Remanufacturer
With this knowledge, you can confidently choose the option that best suits your needs and budget. However, before finalizing your decision, let’s address a critical point: the risks of ignoring gearcase damage.
The Importance of Addressing Gearcase Damage
If you suspect damage to your lower unit, don’t overlook it. Internal damage might not be immediately noticeable, but even slight issues, such as damaged gears, can worsen over time. Initially, these gears may seem to function adequately, but their misalignment will gradually cause wear and eventual failure.
To avoid costly breakdowns, we strongly recommend having your motor thoroughly diagnosed by a trusted professional. Proper inspection ensures that any underlying issues are identified and addressed before they escalate.
