How long do Mercruiser outdrives last?
It’s also common to expect between 10-15 years out of a well-used sterndrive and transom assembly, and then it’s a matter of continual repairs or replacing it once and for all. Sterndrives are a faster and more efficient design, as they are mounted to the rear and produce less drag.
Can you keep a stern drive in the water?
In cold weather, any accumulated water in the sterndrive can freeze and, under the right conditions, ice may expand and crack the housing. When putting your boat away for the season, store the sterndrive in the “down” position or use a sturdy, waterproof cover over the prop to prevent water accumulation in the housing.
