Flex shaft being measured for cut.
Proper 3/8 inch gap at strut.
90 degree header in place.
The flat spot should be about 1/16 to 3/32
deep.
Slip the cable into the strut and tube,
being absolutely certain that the cable is
all the way into the collet.
Measure the distance from the back of
the strut to the front of the drive dog.
Subtract 3/8 inch from this
measurement.
This is the amount to cut off the front of
the cable to leave a 3/8 inch drive dog to
strut gap.
As an example, if the distance from the
strut to drive dog is 3-3/8 inch, you
would cut 3 inches off the cable.
Exhaust
We used a quiet pipe in our hydro, and
recommend that you use a quiet pipe or
effective muffler, as loud boats lose
ponds!
Install the engine in the hull with the 90
degree header in place.
Leave the carb off, for now.
Slip the pipe onto the header and adjust
it to the proper length.
The Zipp Super tuned pipe should be
13-1/2 inches from the face of the
exhaust port, measured along the
header and pipe center, to the maximum
pipe diameter.
