2.3 Paddlewheel replacement
If the high speed paddlewheel (supplied) is to be fitted, or the existing
paddlewheel to be replaced, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the retaining rings (1) and pin (6) from the speed
transducer (3).
2.
Withdraw the speed transducer (3) from the through hull fitting (4).
3.
If replacing a worn paddlewheel and if the vessel is still in the water,
replace the speed transducer (3) with the plug (5).
4.
Remove the pin (6) that retains the paddlewheel (7) in the speed
transducer (3). This is a simple press fit into the transducer housing.
5.
Fit the high speed/replacement paddlewheel (7) to the speed
transducer (3) and retain with the pin (6).
Note:
The paddlewheel is correctly orientated when the working (flat)
surfaces of each paddle are facing forwards.
6.
Assemble the speed transducer (3) to the through hull fitting (4) and
secure with the retaining rings (1) and pin (2).
