3
Lift up on the shaft cap to disconnect it from the shaft.
4
Pull the cables from the shaft completely through the shaft
cap, taking care to avoid damaging the data cable connector
when you pull it through.
Removing the Shaft from the Steering Servo
Before you can remove the shaft from the steering servo, you
must remove the shaft cap (
).
This procedure is best performed with two people.
1
Loosen the depth adjustment collar on the base of the
steering servo .
2
Slide the shaft down and out of the steering servo, taking
care not to damage the skeg and transducer or snag the
cables or connectors as you pull it through.
TIP:
Depending on the height of your trailer, you may find it
easier to remove the shaft if you transition the mount halfway
between the deployed and stowed positions.
Removing the Depth-Adjustment Collar
Before you can remove the depth-adjustment collar, you must
remove the shaft from the steering servo (
).
Turn the depth-adjustment collar counter-clockwise to
remove it from the steering servo.
Removing the Propeller Drive Motor and Nose Cone
from the Shaft
Before you can remove the propeller drive motor and transducer
from the shaft, you must remove the shaft from the steering
servo (
Removing the Shaft and Propeller Drive Motor from the
).
1
Remove the skeg and nose cone from the propeller drive
motor (
Removing the Skeg and Nose Cone
).
2
Remove the propeller drive motor from the shaft (
).
3
Remove the nose cone and transducer from the shaft
(
Removing the Nose Cone and Transducer
).
Removing the Skeg and Nose Cone
1
Using a 4 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the four screws
that secure the skeg to the propeller drive motor.
2
Remove the skeg.
3
Using a 4 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the two screws
that secure the front of the nose cone to the propeller drive
motor.
4
Using a 3 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the single screw
that secures the bottom of the nose cone to the propeller
drive motor.
You should keep all of these screws and parts in a safe
place, because you must reinstall them when reassembling
the skeg and nose cone.
Removing the Propeller Drive Motor
Before you can remove the propeller drive motor, you must
remove the shaft from the steering servo (
).
NOTE:
When removing the propeller drive motor, using a ball-
head hex bit or wrench is highly recommended because of the
angle needed to reach the head of the screws.
1
Using the tool included in the shaft and motor hardware
service kit, remove the recessed nut that secures the
transducer cable to the shaft.
2
Using a ball-head 4 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the four
screws that secure the shaft base to the propeller drive
motor.
