Marine Engines have to be tougher. - Marine engines are almost always under heavy load, continuously pushing against water (there are no "down- hills"). These tougher operating conditions demand that marine engines be more rugged than their automotive cousins. So we build in an extra measure of strength and reliability. Some day, far from shore or with a storm brewing, our tough approach will payoff for you and your crew.

 

Only the best blocks. - We start by selecting only the "healthiest" blocks. No cracks, no rust, no signs of abuse. We completely disassemble the blocks and vigorously clean them SIX times to wash away contaminants. Carefully selected crankshafts are subjected to the same intensive cleaning, then demagnetized before precision grinding and polishing.

 

We measure cylinder bores three times. - As an example of our passion for perfection, after we bore and hone cylinders, we measure them three times to ten-thousandths of an inch. We know this extra dedication will payoff for you in performance and dependability.

 

We've earned an enviable reputation for producing the highest quality remanufactured marine engines. We are fully experienced with all types of marine engines- four-cylinder, inline six, V-6 and V-8 from all manufacturers. You can be confident you'll get an engine that's eager to let you run at full throttle again.

 

New internal parts, marine gaskets. - We install vital new internal parts, including new hyper- eutectic pistons where available, new premium piston ring sets, new bearings, new valves, new marine camshafts, new springs, new lifters, new timing components, and more.

 

We also install special marine head gaskets and always use brass expansion plugs.

 

The final touch. - After our expert technicians have completed all critical machining operations, our reassembly team takes over. We rewash all new and machined parts. We pre-lubricate camshafts and pistons. Then we spin test every assembled engine while our computer system logs the compression and oil pressure for future reference. After a complete final inspection before shipping, your Recon remanufactured engine is ready to go!

 

ALL parts we install meet or exceed original manufacturers' specs. Many parts are actually better than original equipment, because we pick up running changes to eliminate problems common in the original engine.

 

DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS OF MARINE ENGINES

Inboard: The engine and transmission are inside the boat. The prop is connected to a shaft which goes through the hull and is attached to the transmission. Engine rotation is extremely important.
V-Drive: The engine and transmission are mounted inside the boat with the water pump and front pulley facing the rear of the boat. The transmission faces the front and the shaft for the prop is directly towards the rear going under the engine assembly and through the hull to the propeller.
Stern Drive: Also known as Inboard / Outboard. The engine is mounted inside the boat with the stern drive unit or transmission mounted on the outside of the transom. There are some boat manufactures that have produced both standard and opposite rotation applications. The rotation is incorporated in the stern drive instead of the engine.
Jet -Drive: The engine is mounted inside the boat and attached to a high-speed pump that acts as the transmission. An adjustable nozzle is mounted on the transom, which controls the steering.
