LOWER DRIVE SHAFT

$135.89

Description

Function: The LOWER DRIVE SHAFT transmits power from the boat’s engine to the gearcase or lower unit, which then turns the propeller, propelling the boat forward.
Location: It’s positioned within the gearcase assembly, connecting the engine’s power output to the propeller shaft.
Construction: Typically made of durable metals like stainless steel or hardened steel to withstand the torque and rotational forces generated by the engine.
Importance: Without the LOWER DRIVE SHAFT, the engine’s power wouldn’t be effectively transferred to the propeller, resulting in loss of propulsion.
Maintenance: Regular inspection and lubrication are necessary to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear and tear. Any damage or misalignment can lead to performance issues.
Replacement: If the LOWER DRIVE SHAFT becomes worn or damaged, it should be replaced promptly to avoid further damage to other components and ensure safe operation of the boat.
