Yamaha - Gear - Lower Unit Gear Component - 63P-45571-02-00

Overview

Inside the lower unit, everything depends on the gears doing their job right. I’ve worked on plenty of cases where a worn gear caused noise, rough engagement, or worse under load. Once one gear starts going, it doesn’t take long before the rest follow. Replacing it with a proper Yamaha part like this keeps everything meshing clean and running the way it should.
