Explore our selection of inboard sterndrive units for powerboats. A sterndrive links an inboard engine to an external drive, combining the advantages of inboard power with outboard-style manoeuvrability.
The role of the inboard sterndrive
The sterndrive unit houses the gears, bearings, shafts and seals that transfer power from the engine to the propeller. It provides forward–neutral–reverse shifting and directs thrust for steering.
A healthy sterndrive is crucial for reliable propulsion and precise handling on the water.
When to replace an inboard drive unit
Severe impact, major corrosion, repeated oil leaks, metallic noise or internal failure may justify replacing the complete sterndrive. In many cases, fitting a new or remanufactured unit is safer and more economical than complex repairs.
A replacement drive gives you new gears, bearings and seals, helping to secure your propulsion system for future seasons.
