Replacing Parts

OMC, one of the biggest names in sterndrives, is a name you can trust. But what if you need new boating parts, and you want to get them from another name that you can trust? Replacing parts can be a costly and time-consuming procedure, especially if you hire out all the work to another person. It would be nice to work on the boat all on your own, but what if you don't feel that you know enough about your OMC sterndrive to go it alone? Do you just keep shelling out your hard-earned dollar to fix every little thing and to keep up with regular maintenance?

If you can afford to hire a professional mechanic, then it's probably your safest bet. However, if you are mechanical by nature and prone to repairing things on your own, you may not want to pay the price the professionals will demand. There is a certain pride to be had in fixing something all on your own, and some prefer that avenue of action to anything else.

Buying the Parts You Need
