stallation and removal.
2. Pull the steering helmet aft far enough to clear the
gear wheel. Turn the gear wheel so that the digital trim
instrument indicates -4.
3. Pull the gear wheel straight down. There will be

shaft in the same position.
NOTE! Always use a new O-ring whenever the gear
wheel is removed.
