Why the OEM Gearcase is a Reliable Choice
Welcome to the next installment of our Gearcase Education Series, where we explore the best replacement options for your boat’s gearcase. This time, we focus on the New OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Gearcase, the gold standard in quality and performance.
What is an OEM Gearcase?
An OEM gearcase is built by your motor’s manufacturer (e.g., Volvo, Mercury, or Evinrude) and is made using original factory parts. This ensures the highest quality in terms of manufacturing standards and compatibility with your boat.
Why Choose an OEM Gearcase?
Here’s why an OEM gearcase stands out:
Unmatched Quality:
Manufactured with factory precision and premium materials, these gearcases are built to perform and last.
Reliable Warranty:
OEM units come with a manufacturer-backed warranty, providing peace of mind. Warranties vary, so be sure to consult a knowledgeable dealer for details.
Perfect Compatibility:
Designed specifically for your motor, OEM gearcases eliminate the guesswork and ensure a seamless fit.
Considerations When Buying an OEM Gearcase
While the quality of an OEM gearcase is unparalleled, there are a few factors to keep in mind:
Higher Cost:
As the top-tier option, OEM gearcases are the most expensive among replacement options. The premium price reflects the quality of the parts and factory labor involved.
Availability:
Since OEM gearcases are less frequently purchased due to their cost, dealerships often don’t stock them. Expect a wait time of around four days for your gearcase to arrive. Installation, if needed, may add additional time.
Dependable Performance:
Once installed, you can rest assured that you’ve chosen the most reliable option available. An OEM gearcase is designed to deliver consistent, trouble-free performance for years to come.
