JO6HD Aftermarket Marine Heavy-Duty Sterndrive Installer | Sawley's Select Marine Parts

🔧 Product Description

Heavy-duty wheeled hydraulic installer designed to allow one technician to remove, support, manoeuvre and reinstall marine sterndrives. The JO6HD configuration uses a wide stable chassis, four flat-free tyres and adjustable support arms to accommodate a broad range of drive housings.

It is especially useful for Alpha, Bravo, Volvo Penta, OMC and similar drives that are awkward and unsafe to handle manually.
