Sterndrive Engineering spent two years doing research, design, development and testing before introducing its stern drive in 2004. Sterndrive Engineering operates one of the only private research lakes for marine product testing in the country. All of the component parts were tested extensively on a stationary dock enduring hundreds of hours of run time. "Our gas bills were staggering, even back then,” says Pickren. "Run it 'til it breaks was our motto."

Stern drive gears are by design some of the most over stressed gears in the world. Using the most advanced technology and materials is critical. While Sterndrive Engineering's gears are made in Asia, the 4820 steel alloy used a rather unique alloy. There are Japanese alloys that are similar, but none of them have the hardness and durability features that are needed for our gears." Sterndrive Engineering's gears are also shot peened and cryogenically treated. Both of these technologies add significantly to the life of the gears. "As far as we know, we are the only company cryogenically treating sterndrive gears." says Pickren.

Sterndrive Engineering has quickly become the largest supplier of aftermarket stern drives in the world. Pickren proudly remarks "Almost every day a customer tells us thank you for saving him over $1,000 and getting his boat running again. It's this kind of feedback that gets us excited about what we do.”

These replacement drives, including all of the internal parts, are fully compatible and interchangable with the OEM drives. At our low prices, it is virtually impossible to justify spending the time and money to repair a worn-out sterndrive. In addition, the drives come with a three-year warranty.
