Refit the nozzle insert into the nozzle housing.

Refit the nozzle assembly complete, onto the studs [26], with the nozzle fitted for the correct orientation
(nozzle up or nozzle down).

Secure the nozzle assembly to the tailpipe with spring washers [28] and nuts [27]. Torque load to the
correct torque.
Fit the steering shaft

Lightly grease the steering crank [4] and fit into the steering crank bush [15] in the nozzle boss.

Ensure that the steering crank [4] is correctly orientated to suit the nozzle trim (nozzle up or nozzle


Lightly grease the steering shaft [1] and from inside the vessel, slide the steering shaft rearwards into
position through the forward and aft steering bushes [3]. Take care not to dislodge o-ring [2] fitted to the
forward steering bush.

From outside the vessel, pull the steering shaft rearwards and pass the end of the steering shaft through
the steering crank [4] that has been fitted into the steering bush [15].

From the port side of the jet unit, fit the cotter [5] through the hole in the steering crank to secure the
steering crank to the end of the steering shaft. Secure with washer special [6], spring washer [8] and nut
