## 🔌 Function

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Oil on the bilge floor under the transom
-   Steering or trim becoming heavy, slow or uneven
-   Pitted or chipped gear teeth found on strip-down

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   At over 50 kg this needs mechanical lifting and a second pair of hands to position on the transom
