GEARCASE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
13
IMPORTANT:
New gearcase screws are treated
with a thread-locking material. Apply Triple-Guard
grease to threads to ensure that the correct
clamping force is achieved when tightening—If a
previously installed screw is re-used, use a wire
brush to remove any old thread-locking material or
corrosion and lubricate threads with
Triple-Guard
grease.
Install screws and washers and tighten to a torque
of:
•
3/8 in. screws – 26 to 28 ft. lbs. (35 to 38 N·m)
•
7/16 in. screw – 45 to 50 ft. lbs. (61 to 68 N·m)
Apply Triple-Guard grease to threads of the trim
tab screw. Install gasket on “M”-type gearcases.
Install and align the trim tab (cover on “L”-type)
with the index marks noted prior to disassembly.
Tighten the trim tab screw to a torque of 35 to 40
ft. lbs. (47 to 54 N·m). For adjustment, refer to
Trim Tab Adjustment on p. 30.
Standard rotation and counter rota-
tion trim tabs must not be interchanged. This
would result in inadequate cooling water sup-
ply to the propeller hub.
Place the shift rod in the shift rod lever. Install the
retaining pin and washer. Tighten pin to a torque
of 60 to 84 in. lbs. (7 to 9.5 N·m).
IMPORTANT:
During break-in period of a reas-
sembled gearcase, change the gearcase lubricant
between 10 to 20 hours of operation.
