SHEAR PIN REPLACEMENT
Honda and Suzuki Motors
A shear pin is used to protect the propeller and drive mechanism from
damage when the propeller strikes an object.
NOTE: In most cases, you do not need to remove the propeller guard to
replace the shear pin.
1. Place motor on work stand.
2. Remove the propeller cotter pin using a pair of needle nose pliers.
3. Pull the propeller out from the gear case until it stops against the prop
guard.
4. Push out the broken shear pin and clean the entire shaft.
5. Dab a little grease on the end of the new shear pin and install it in the
shaft.
NOTE: There are two extra shear pins and cotter pins that come with each
new motor. These should be removed and kept for future use.
Push the propeller back on the shaft and install a new cotter pin.

EXPANDS AS TEMPERATURE
RISES, AND WILL OVERFLOW CAUSING FIRE HAZARD
