When it starts to wear, you’ll feel it right away—grinding during shifts, slipping out of gear, or delayed engagement. This Yamaha clutch dog is built to restore clean, solid gear engagement and keep power transferring smoothly to the prop. It’s one of the key components that keeps your drivetrain working the way it should. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"584\" data-end=\"587\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14at72t\" data-start=\"589\" data-end=\"606\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"608\" data-end=\"742\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"638\"\u003eGear Engagement Function\u003c\/strong\u003e – Connects and disconnects the propeller drive during shifting. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"744\" data-end=\"842\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"777\"\u003eSmooth Shifting Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e – Helps eliminate grinding and ensures clean gear transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"973\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"875\"\u003eEfficient Torque Transfer\u003c\/strong\u003e – Transfers engine power directly to the propeller shaft. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1067\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"999\"\u003eOEM Yamaha Fitment\u003c\/strong\u003e – Built to factory specifications for precise fit and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1072\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1b7w7ff\" data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1106\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1216\"\u003e• Compatible with select Yamaha outboards that utilize this clutch dog (confirm fitment by model and year)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1221\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"x9bttf\" data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1231\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1350\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1276\"\u003eQ: What are signs of a worn clutch dog?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1276\" data-end=\"1279\"\u003eA: Grinding when shifting, slipping out of gear, or delayed engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1468\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1385\"\u003eQ: What does a clutch dog do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1385\" data-end=\"1388\"\u003eA: It locks the gears together to allow forward, neutral, and reverse operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1581\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1510\"\u003eQ: Can this affect boat performance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1513\"\u003eA: Yes, it directly impacts shifting reliability and power transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1583\" data-end=\"1710\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1583\" data-end=\"1640\"\u003eQ: Should this be replaced during lower unit rebuild?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1643\"\u003eA: Yes, especially if there are signs of wear, rounding, or damage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46938863075619,"sku":"63D-45631-01-00","price":161.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/7410\/9475\/files\/PV225421.jpg?v=1698806842","url":"https:\/\/partsvu.com\/en-mx\/products\/yamaha-clutch-dog-63d-45631-01-00","provider":"PartsVu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
