BRIGGS AND STRATTONVEH18997 GEAR 16T 20HP FT OUT BOARD
The VEH18997 16-Tooth Gear is a precision-engineered drivetrain component designed for 20HP outboard engine lower unit assemblies. Manufactured from high-strength, wear-resistant steel, this gear ensures smooth power transmission and optimal mechanical efficiency within the outboard’s gearcase.
Engineered for durability in demanding marine environments, the 16T gear plays a critical role in transferring rotational force from the driveshaft to the propeller system, maintaining reliable propulsion and consistent performance. Its precision-cut teeth provide accurate meshing with mating gears, reducing friction, minimizing vibration, and extending the service life of the drivetrain components.
Ideal for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) applications, the VEH18997 gear meets the high standards required for marine propulsion systems, ensuring dependable operation even under heavy loads and continuous use.
