We pay cash for lower unit cores!

The busy summer season is still upon us and the demand for rebuilt lower units is high.  Customers who purchase a lower unit from US Boatworks are eligible for a refund when you return a good core back to us.  If you are one of those customers, send your core back to us – we need them!

As one of the top remanufacturers of lower units in the US, rebuild are continually rebuilding gear cases so they are ready to ship out when ordered.  In order to build all those gear cases, we need good used cores to start the refurbish process. We need your cores! Recycle your housing, save the environment and earn some money in the process.

If you have used Evinrude, Mercury or Volvo-Penta outdrive cores laying around, put some cash in your pocket by sending them to us.  We buy Volvo Penta Sterndrive cores, Mercury cores and Evinrude cores and pay you based on the condition of the core you send us.

If you have replaced a damaged gear case lately, don’t throw that old lower unit out!  Turn it into cash. $$$$$$

What you need to Winterize your Outboard or Sterndrive

Winterizing tips for do it yourselfers:

This week temperatures took a dip and it definitely feels like fall outside.  Enjoying these cooler temperatures out on the water should be very tempting right now.  Traffic on the lake will be at a minimum so it might feel like you have the lake to yourself.  While it may be a little chilly for water skiing and tubing, it's a delightful time for a nice drive on the lake or even spending day fishing.

While you are enjoying the last few weeks on the lake, keep in mind that the task of winterizing your outboard or sterndrive is around the corner.  Winterization will need to be completed before the first hard freeze.  So, boaters have a choice of taking their boat in to have it winterized by certified mechanics or performing the task on their own.  Our blog next week will cover tips on having your boat repair shop complete your winterization. If you want to get ahead of the rush, bring your boat into our shop now while the wait is minimal.

For the diy boat mechanic, preparation is key in winterizing your boat.  Having the correct marine grade oil, lube and fuel stabilizer is important to prevent potential damage down the road.  Picking this up at the auto store or large discount chain is not the way to go.  If you are saving money by doing the task yourself, put a tiny bit of that savings towards genuine Mercury Marine, Evinrude, Johnson or Volvo-Penta oils and lubes.   Below is a list of  what you need before you begin winterization.

We Pay Cash for Lower Unit Cores

The busy summer season is winding down and we are already looking ahead to next year.  As one of the top remanufacturers of lower units in the US, we spend a good chunk of the winter months rebuilding gear cases so they are ready to ship out in the spring.  In order to build all those gear cases, we need good used cores to start the refurbish process. We need your cores! Recycle your housing, save the environment and earn some money in the process.

If you have used Evinrude, Mercury or Volvo-Penta outdrive cores laying around, put some cash in your pocket by sending them to us.  We buy Volvo Penta Sterndrive cores, Mercury cores and Evinrude cores and pay you based on the condition of the core you send us.

Boat Parts

 

Boat Motor parts by the thousands

As we look ahead to the 2010 boating season, we are stocking our shelves full
of parts.  Our parts manager, Tim, tells me he is adding over 50 new parts
to our inventory each day.  That is in addition to the boat parts he is
stocking that we already carry.  US Boatworks recently made a huge
acquisition of Mercury and Mercruiser Sterndrive parts that are due to arrive
any day.  Tim and Ron should be busy for the rest of December checking the
parts in and listing them on our inventory program. 

If you are looking for hard to find Mercury outboard or Mercruiser sterndrive
parts, we may just have what you are looking for.  Our inventory changes
dramatically from month to month, even in the winter months.  Contact Tim at 913-342-0011 if you have further questions.  You can also
email us at parts@boatengine.com.

Happy boating.
