The stringer outdrives were made by the Omc Corp. and used in evinrude,
johnson sterndrive boats as well as Thompson and others. They have a direct
drive electric motor with a worm gear and oil bath clutch pack for tilting
the outdive. The clutch packs are no longer available and the design was
tough on the motor, especially at around 100.00 for just the motor. The
motor was also close to the flor of the boat which induced moisture
buildup. My system would eliminate the need for the clutch pack and reduce
the stress put on the motor for longer motor life. And relocate the motor
higher for less moisture buildup.
