Sterndrive / Inboard Engine (Petrol/SI) · Shaft Line & Propulsion
This engine employs a naturally aspirated, water-cooled, 4-stroke inline 3-cylinder configuration with multiport injection, designed for sterndrive or inboard marine applications. The Bombardier Recreational Products TBCXM.8998HN engine, manufactured in Mexico, delivers 62 kW of power and is electronically controlled. It features a displacement of 0.9 liters and operates at a maximum test speed of 8050 rpm. The engine is designed for a useful life of 480 hours or 10 years, depending on usage. Common issues include ignition and fuel system faults, cooling system failures, sterndrive lubricant loss, exhaust leakage, corrosion, and control system malfunctions. Maintenance involves inspecting fuel and ignition components, cooling water flow, hoses, belts, and exhaust connections for signs of wear or leakage. Sterndrive lubricant should be checked for contamination and water ingress, and the propeller and underwater gear for impact damage. Service kits should include spark plugs, fuel filters, ignition parts, cooling pump components, belts, approved seals, gaskets, and sacrificial anodes. For sterndrives, additional spare parts like drive-service seals, propeller hardware, and a spare propeller are recommended.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect fuel and ignition components, cooling-water flow, hoses, belts and exhaust connections for deterioration or leakage. Check the sterndrive or transmission lubricant for level, contamination and water ingress and inspect propeller and underwater gear for impact damage. Examine bellows, seals, anodes, steering, trim components and transom mounting where a sterndrive is fitted. Check engine mounts, alignment and coupling condition on inboard arrangements. Verify ventilation, fuel-vapor safety provisions, alarms, neutral-start protection and emergency shutdown functions appropriate to the petrol-engine installation. For cylinder dimensions, rotational speed, pressures, clearances, temperatures, wear limits and setting values, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
Carry specified spark plugs, fuel filters, ignition-system service parts, cooling-pump service components, belts where fitted, approved seals and gaskets, and sacrificial anodes. For sterndrives, useful spares include drive-service seals, propeller hardware and an appropriate spare propeller; for conventional inboards, stock transmission and shaft-interface service items according to the installation. Refer to manufacturer documentation for the exact spare selection.
