How are sterndrives described?

  1. A power source attached to the stern, cheap type

  2. Mounted inside the hull's midsection

  3. Called inboard/outboard motors, has a rotating engine pod

  4. Used primarily for sail boats and large ships

The correct answer is: Called inboard/outboard motors, has a rotating engine pod

Sterndrives are typically known as inboard/outboard motors because they have both an internal engine and a rotating pod outside of the hull. Option A is incorrect because sterndrives are not simply a power source attached to the stern, they have a more complex design. Option B is incorrect because sterndrives are mounted outside of the hull, not inside the midsection. Option D is incorrect because sterndrives are commonly used in smaller recreational boats, not just sail boats and large ships.
