🚤 Donnelly Engineering — Your One-Stop Shop for Everything Automotive, General & Marine!

Did you know we manufacture prop shafts in-house? 🔧

This one came to us with a cracked shaft, so we manufactured a brand-new 2205 stainless steel prop shaft, custom-made to suit the existing coupling and propeller.

If you’re experiencing bad vibrations or need:
🔹 Cutlass bearings
🔹 Shaft seals
🔹 Prop shaft repairs or manufacturing
🔹 General shaft work

When a brand-new engine isn’t an option, sometimes the only choice is bringing the old girl back from the dead 😬😝⚓️
This 4-cylinder 3.0L 181ci MerCruiser came in with severe rust damage and water sitting where it definitely shouldn’t have been… after a cylinder bore failure let water flood the cylinders 💧❌

Instead of replacing the whole engine, we brought it back to life with:
🔧 Re-sleeved cylinder block
🔧 Brand new cylinder head
🔧 New gaskets, bearings & seals
🔧 Fresh piston rings
🔧 Full rebuild and clean-up

The transformation speaks for itself 👌🔥
From rusty and seized… to fresh, clean, and ready to hit the water again 🌊

Proof that sometimes a proper rebuild is all an engine needs 💪⚙️
