The standard gasoline and optional diesel engines
on your boat are a stern drive propulsion system
also known as inboard-outboard engines. This
type of propulsion system has the engine inside
the boat secured to the hull's stringers at the rear
end of the hull. The stern drive unit, also called the
outdrive because it hangs below the hull, is part of
the propulsion system that attaches to the outside
of the hull or transom. The stern drive unit pivots to
steer the boat.
