Stern drive gears are the most stressed gears in the world.

Simply put, buying a remanufactured drive is risky. Common practices in the industry include reusing critical wear parts such as cases, gears, shafts and bearings. Inspecting these parts to determine a reasonable expected remaining life is nearly impossible. Consequently, premature failures are common. Why risk relying on used and possibly worn out parts when you can buy a brand new drive from High Tech Marine for less money?
