About Brad Pynn

45 years inside inboard-outboard drives

Brad Pynn has spent his working life on sterndrives. He came up as a master I/O tech and has torn down and rebuilt more MerCruiser, OMC and Volvo Penta drives than he can count. He knows where each drive family fails and why.

That means an Alpha One gets treated differently than a Bravo. An OMC Cobra cooling issue is not the same animal as a Volvo SX shift problem. You get the fix the drive actually needs, explained in plain terms, at a fair price with no marina markup.

Ship a drive in from anywhere, or work with Brad directly around Oneida Lake and Central New York.
