liner as needed.
Step 9. Lubricate the entire flex cable with heavy cable
grease as shown and then re-install the flex cable back

When re-installing the flex cable back into the collet, it may
be necessary to loosen the four engine mount support

adjustment. Simply push and twist the flex cable and guide
the engine up or down as needed. (See appendix, photo A
for completed step.) Next, lubricate the prop shaft.

certain to place a drop of Threadlock on each set screw
before re-tightening them.
