Your sterndrive (outdrive) is a critical link between engine power and on-water performance. At River City Sports in Bismarck, North Dakota, our Outdrive Service & Repair keeps your boat operating smoothly, safely, and efficiently by addressing wear, alignment, sealing, and drivetrain integrity before small issues become major failures. From routine maintenance to complex repairs, our marine-only service department delivers precise, manufacturer-compliant service you can trust.

Comprehensive Sterndrive Inspection & Maintenance

Outdrives operate in a harsh environment—submerged, pressurized, and exposed to corrosion. Our service begins with a thorough inspection of gears, bearings, seals, bellows, U-joints, gimbal bearings, and alignment. We service and replace lubricants, inspect anodes, and verify proper operation to ensure dependable power transfer and long-term reliability. Routine sterndrive maintenance helps prevent water intrusion, vibration, noise, and premature wear.

Professional Repairs by Certified Marine Technicians

When repairs are needed, our factory-trained technicians diagnose issues accurately and complete repairs using manufacturer-approved procedures and components. Whether it’s seal replacement, bellows service, bearing or gear issues, or alignment correction, we restore proper function with attention to detail that protects your investment. Our team has extensive experience servicing sterndrives across popular configurations and use cases.

Bellows, Seals & Corrosion Protection

Bellows and seals are essential to keeping water out of critical drivetrain components. Over time, they can crack, dry out, or fail—often without obvious warning. Our outdrive service includes inspection and replacement of worn bellows and seals, along with corrosion prevention checks to safeguard internal components. Proactive service here can save thousands in avoidable repairs.

Manufacturer-Recommended Service Intervals

River City Sports follows manufacturer-specified service intervals and torque specifications to ensure optimal performance and warranty compliance. Using the correct lubricants, parts, and procedures helps extend the life of your outdrive and maintain smooth, efficient operation season after season.
