Yamaha - Gear - Lower Unit Component - 650-42152-00-94

Overview

When something feels off in the lower unit, a worn gear is often part of the problem. I’ve opened up plenty of units where a single gear started making noise and ended up affecting everything around it. These parts take constant load, so once wear sets in, it doesn’t take long before performance drops. Keeping a solid gear in place helps your motor stay smooth, quiet, and dependable out on the water.
