Sterndrive Maintenance & Repair
Ventnor Marina has expert technicians capable of maintenance and repairs on your outdrives.
Boating Season is approaching. Ensure your outdrive is working properly with preventive maintenance on your Volvo & MerCuiser Alpha I Gen I, II and Bravo I, II, III outdrives. Ventnor Marina has the expertise to service all Mercruiser and Volvo Outdrives for our customers. Maintenance will include inspection or replacement of the following:
- Universal Bellows
- Exhaust Bellows
- Shift and Cable Bellows
- Bushing and Seal Kit
- Gimbal Bearing
- Water Intake Hose and Clamps
- Check Universals, Engine Element and Coupler
- Check Engine and Sterndrive oil
- Service All Grease Fittings with Marine Grease
These are routine maintenance items that wear quicker in saltwater use. The simple maintenance will provide a safe day on the water and extend the life of your outdrive. Failure to maintain your outdrive with the replacement of the bellows can lead to catastrophic failures including sinking the vessel.
