GEARCASE
Exhaust Housing to Gearcase Alignment Pins
Current production M2-Type gearcases are fitted with exhaust housing to gear-
case alignment pins, P/N 350943.
If installing a replacement M2-Type gearcase on a 2008 or older engine, inspect
the exhaust housing. Make sure it is machined to accept the exhaust housing to
gearcase alignment pins.
If the exhaust housing is not machined to accept the alignment pins, remove the
alignment pins from the replacement gearcase.
Failure to remove the exhaust housing to gearcase alignment
pins can damage the exhaust housing mounting flange and prevent cor-
rect installation of the gearcase.
Use Gearcase Alignment Kit, P/N 5007231 to accurately align gearcase housing
to exhaust housing on engines where the exhaust housing is not machined to
accept the alignment pins.
