After Market Sterndrive

[publicnuisance]

Hello Y'all,

I was woundering if anyone has used one of these or know anything about them?

http://www.stern-drive.com/gear-case-pages/Alpha-One-Complete.htm

My boat is 22 years old, owned by me for only a short period, and both drives are standard rotation. I have been dreaming about having a counter-rotation and found the above site. Considering the fact that it is easy to sink a grand in an outdrive for repairs I was just wondering. These units are new aftermarket replacements.

Thanks
Nuse

Thanks Doctur,

That's great news, I need to call them to get warranty details. You have not had to use the warranty on any of the ones you installed?

 

[Bt Doctur]

No, should be 3 years unconditional, even if you forget the oil it`s covered.

Why don't you go direct to the manufacturer http://www.sterndrive.cc/

I have installed these drives and they are excellant quality,however they do have gear noise issues until they break-in,they use none prelaped gears in these drives so there is a break-in period and procedure with the instructions.

Check the shipping costs on that site, the first site had free shipping.

Counter the torque of the CW drive which makes it easier to steer at low speeds; no wandering for small boats.

Also more fuel efficient and easier to back into slip.
