Designed with precision-cut teeth, this gear works in conjunction with other internal gears to ensure smooth rotation, efficient power transfer, and reliable shifting between forward, neutral, and reverse. If a gear becomes worn, chipped, or damaged, it can lead to grinding noises, poor performance, or drivetrain failure. Replacing it helps restore proper operation and keeps your lower unit functioning efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"668\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1j5qwet\" data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"689\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"689\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"1054\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1mnaohm\" data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"771\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"721\"\u003ePower Transfer Component\u003c\/strong\u003e – Helps transmit engine power to the propeller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"7f5ziz\" data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"861\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"799\"\u003ePrecision Gear Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Engineered for smooth engagement and efficient operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"fru5sj\" data-start=\"862\" data-end=\"964\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"891\"\u003eOEM Yamaha Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Manufactured to factory specifications for durability and exact fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ccne41\" data-start=\"965\" data-end=\"1054\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"995\"\u003eLower Unit Internal Part\u003c\/strong\u003e – Designed for integration within the gearcase assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1059\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1ww02hn\" data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1095\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1095\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1192\"\u003eCompatible with Yamaha outboards using this gear within the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1191\"\u003elower unit \/ gearcase assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1197\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"elc90z\" data-start=\"1199\" data-end=\"1209\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1202\" data-end=\"1209\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1322\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1241\"\u003eQ: What does this gear do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1244\"\u003eA: It transfers rotational power within the lower unit to drive the propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1441\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1375\"\u003eQ: What are signs this gear is worn or damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1378\"\u003eA: Grinding noise, vibration, slipping, or difficulty shifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1539\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1485\"\u003eQ: Is this part inside the lower unit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1488\"\u003eA: Yes, it is an internal gear within the gearcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1671\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1578\"\u003eQ: Is this a high-wear component?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1581\"\u003eA: It can wear over time, especially if lubrication is poor or water contamination occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1808\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1706\"\u003eQ: Is installation difficult?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003eA: Yes, it requires disassembly of the lower unit and is typically done by experienced technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46938142015779,"sku":"68U-45571-00-00","price":245.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/7410\/9475\/files\/PV236236.jpg?v=1698804468","url":"https:\/\/partsvu.com\/en-ca\/products\/yamaha-gear-68u-45571-00-00","provider":"PartsVu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
