• Listed for six applications across DPI drives and D series engines

🔌 Function

Transmits engine power through the transom to the propellers, reducing engine speed to propeller speed and carrying the steering and trim loads.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Whine or growl from the drive that follows propeller speed
• Drive oil grey, milky or emulsified at the check
• Oil weeping from around the drive or a slick on the water behind it
• Vibration through the hull under way
• Gear teeth or bearings found chipped, pitted or blued on strip-down

🛠️ Service Notes

• Confirm the ratio against the vessel's specification before ordering - 22846224 is the same family at 1.69:1 and the two are not interchangeable
• Check the bellows, seals and drive oil condition first; water ingress is often repairable without a complete drive
• At 186 kg this is a lifting and freight item, not something to be handled by hand
