Place the motor in a rag or paper towel and spray a water
displacer into the fi ttings on the water jacket as well as in
the motor itself. After the motor is
“pickled,” re-oil the motor bearings,
wipe the motor down and reinstall
it in the boat using the above
instructions in reverse order.
After each 5 or so runs and/or after a day of running it’s a
good idea to re-lubricate the drive cable. Loosen the cable
coupler using the 10 and 12 mm wrenches. Firmly pull the
prop and drive shaft out of the back of the boat. Wipe away
any old grease and water. Apply new speed grease to the shaft
and slide it back into the strut, moving it in and out as you do
so to help spread the grease along the length of the cable.
Before tightening the cable coupler, make sure to leave
a 4 or 5mm distance between the back of the strut
and the front of the drive dog. This will keep the drive
system from binding or breaking as the cable operates.
Tighten the cable coupler, reversing the direction of
the open end wrenches.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
NOTE:
The drive cable is supported by the brass stuffi ng
tube which has a low friction liner. The prop shaft (or “stub
shaft”) is hard-soldered to the fl exible drive cable and
spins in a brass bushing located in the back of the stuffi ng
tube. The bushing and liner should be replaced when
they start to show wear. (AQUB7884 Prop Shaft Bushing;
AQUB7869 .150" Cable Liner 10", cut to length as needed.)
At the end of the day make sure to leave the cowl off
and the drain plug out overnight. This will allow any
moisture that collected in the boat to safely evaporate.
