21. The nominal measurement of the aft gear is
39.50 mm. Find the variation marking on the gear. In
this case it is +10. Remember, hundreds of millime-
ters only!
Add:
Gear nominal
39.50 mm
Gear marking
+0.10 mm
Gear measurement
39.60 mm
22. The nominal bearing height is 20.75 mm.
NOTE! The forward and aft gear bearings have
different nominal dimensions by 0.10 mm. DO NOT
mix them up.
For the aft bearing, make sure that the inner bearing
race is marked BK-358X and the outer bearing race is
marked K354X.
Installing the bearings in the wrong location will cause
incorrect lower unit gear contact patterns, incorrect
bearing preload, and shorten gear life.
23. Add the gear measurement to the bearing nominal
dimension.
Add:
Gear measurement
