NOTICE:
The keyway is welded in place on both
ends of the drive shaft. If the keyway is damaged
or worn, the drive shaft must be replaced.
The drive shaft can be installed in either direction.
Before installing the shaft, coat both ends with
MARINERS CHOICE NEVER SEEZ®.
GEARBOX AND DRIVE SHAFT
Lower the shaft into the housing. When the shaft contacts the
motor output shaft, rotate the shaft in order to align the
motor shaft slot and the drive shaft keyway; you will
feel the drive shaft move toward the motor when this
occurs.
Coat both sides of the new gasket with a thin coating of silicone
sealant and install on the housing.
Make sure to align the key slot on the gearbox shaft with
the keyway on the drive shaft.
Tighten the mounting bolts.
