Install the nose cone and skeg on the propeller drive motor
(
Installing the Nose Cone and Skeg
).
Installing the Nose Cone and Transducer in the Shaft
NOTICE
The shaft and motor hardware service kit contains new seals.
You should use the new parts from the kit instead of reusing the
seals you removed with the nose cone and transducer.
NOTE:
If you are performing this procedure because you are
removing the transducer completely, you should complete only
the first step.
1
Place the 25 mm (1 in.) O-ring on the recessed nut from the
shaft and motor hardware service kit.
2
With the O-ring facing the transducer, feed the replacement
transducer cable through the recessed nut and the hole
in the front of the shaft base, but do not feed it up through the
shaft.
3
After you have fed all but approximately 60 cm (2 ft.) of the
transducer cable through the hole in the shaft base, feed the
transducer cable up through the shaft.
Installing the Propeller Drive Motor
Before you can install the propeller drive motor in the shaft, you
must route the transducer cable through the shaft (if applicable)
(
Installing the Nose Cone and Transducer in the Shaft
).
1
Remove the large 78 mm (3 in.) O-ring on the shaft base,
and discard it.
2
Using the packet included in the shaft and motor hardware
service kit, apply grease to the new 78 mm (3 in.) O-ring in
the shaft and motor hardware service kit.
3
Place the new 78 mm (3 in.) O-ring in the groove on the shaft
base.
4
Using canned compressed air or an air compressor, blow out
any dirt or debris in the four threaded holes on the top of the
propeller drive motor.
5
Apply a medium-strength thread-locking compound such as
LOCTITE
®
243
™
to the threads in the four threaded holes on
the top of the propeller drive motor.
NOTICE
Thread-locking compound is required in these holes to
maintain a tight connection between the shaft base and the
propeller drive motor.
6
Remove the 36 mm (1
7
/
16
in.) O-ring from the top of the
propeller drive motor, and discard it.
7
Thread the cables from the propeller drive motor through the
new 36 mm (1
7
/
16
in.) O-ring in the shaft and motor hardware
service kit.
8
Using the packet included in the shaft and motor hardware
service kit, apply grease to the new 36 mm (1
7
/
16
in.) O-ring.
9
Place the new 36 mm (1
7
/
16
in.) O-ring in the groove on the
top of the propeller drive motor.
10
If the power and data cables from the propeller drive motor
are not already aligned and bundled, straighten, align, and
bundle them with tape.
If the power and data cables are not straight and aligned,
they may not feed through the shaft smoothly.
11
Feed the power and data cables from the propeller drive
motor up through the shaft until they emerge from the top.
