## ⚙️ Key Features

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Water-contaminated lubricant
-   Excess propeller-shaft or steering play
-   Loss of forward or reverse propulsion

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   At around 98 kg this drive is noticeably lighter than the related complete drives 22846224 and 22846226 also listed against this range - don't assume interchangeability from the weight difference alone, since ratio and product number are what actually determine fitment
-   Confirm the 1.46:1 ratio and DPR-D product number against the vessel's specification and propeller set before ordering
