🔌 Function

Takes the engine's output through the transom and turns it down to the forward-facing propellers, and provides the steering and trim movement.

• 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
