sterndrive
Boat engine system
A sterndrive is a boat propulsion system combining an inboard engine with an outboard drive unit mounted through the transom.
Also called an inboard/outboard or I/O, it offers the power of an inboard motor with the maneuverability of an outboard—the drive unit tilts and turns to steer the boat.
The sterndrive needs servicing before we take her out.
