Suzuki OEM Gear Sets & Pinion Gears

The forward and reverse gear set, pinion gear, and the shift mechanism that engages them are the mechanical heart of the lower unit, converting rotating drive shaft power into propeller thrust in either direction. Gear teeth are engineered with specific hardness and tooth geometry to handle the shock load of shifting under way, and a worn clutch dog or shift cam is a common cause of gears slipping out of engagement.

Boat Max Online stocks genuine Suzuki OEM gear sets, pinion gears, shift rods, clutch dogs, shift cams, and forward and reverse gear assemblies for lower unit rebuilds. Forward and reverse gears are sold matched to the pinion gear they mesh with, since gear sets are lapped together at the factory for correct tooth contact pattern.

As an authorized Suzuki Marine dealer, every gear set component we sell is genuine Suzuki product manufactured to factory hardness and tooth profile specifications. Free shipping on orders over $149 to the lower 48 states.
