<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="color:#1863a4" class="has-inline-color">Factory OEM Outdrive Replacement</span></h2>



<p>With a new OEM outdrive installation, you are looking at multiple thousands of dollars to replace and install. As long as your boat is not too old, a new factory replacement drive will ensure proper fit and performance. Many times, for warranty requirements, the installation will need to be performed by a boat mechanic certified by that manufacturer. As a result, the outdrive work may be performed by a mechanic, shop or marina that is unfamiliar to you. <strong>Powerboat Services is a certified MerCruiser repower installer.</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="color:#1863a4" class="has-inline-color">Refurbished Replacement Outdrives</span></h2>



<p>Refurbished outdrives can cost quite a bit less, but can still come with a warranty for your peace of mind. <a href="https://www.jasperengines.com/marine-products" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jasper Marine</a> remanufactures both engine and outdrives and rebuilds their products to at least OEM specs. <strong>Powerboat Services is a certified installer of Jasper Marine products.</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="color:#1863a4" class="has-inline-color">Why Not Repair the Outdrive You Have?</span></h2>



<p>You&#8217;ve got options at <a href="https://saratogapowerboatservices.com/contact-us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Powerboat Services</a>. We specialize in repairing older inboard/outboard drive systems such as MerCruiser, Volvo Penta, Cobra SX, OMC, Alpha and Bravo. We know that our boating season is short, so many of these types of repairs can be done quickly, to get your sterndrive boat back on the water sooner.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><span style="color:#1863a4" class="has-inline-color">If You Have to Replace&#8230;</span></strong></h2>



<p>If your outdrive can&#8217;t be economically repaired, a Sterndrive Engineering (SEI) replacement outdrive can give you like-new performance at a great price. SEI outdrives are new-manufactured outdrives made to replace your factory drives, <em>at a fraction of the cost</em> of a new OEM sterndrive. SEI makes upper and lower outdrive replacements that are a match for most <a href="https://amzn.to/3aIQzRa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MerCruiser</a> outdrives, even a MerCruiser conversion kit for some older OMC Cobra sterndrives. These replacement units come with a 3-year warranty.</p>



<p><strong> <a href="https://saratogapowerboatservices.com/contact-us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Powerboat Services</a> offers sales and installation of SEI Marine Products in the New York/New England Region.</strong></p>
