Hey, I bought me a boat recently, knowing that it needed a bit of work. As I'm digging into it, I find the source of the problem is the pinion gears in the upper section of the OMC stringer outdrive. I can find the gears for a reasonable price, but the local boat shop wants "At least $1500" to do the repair. That's an actual quote. I think they work for the government, or the mob.
Anyways, I can find gears, and I'm not afraid to put them in myself, but if there's someone here who's had experience with the procedure, I'm not opposed to paying substantially less than $1500 to have it done right. Or if someone can point me in the right direction, i'd be grateful.
