Note 1/4 inch gap between drive dog and strut.
Cable
Square type
Bolt the strut on with 2 bolts. Make sure you can
adjust the strut freely.
The stub shaft and ferrule should be in the strut.
Set the strut so that its centerline is about ½ inch
below the bottom of the boat, and parallel.
Adjust the shaft tube so that it is aligned with the
strut. You can turn the tube slightly in the stuffing
tube, so that it’s next to the strut.
Make a mark about ½ inch forward of the front of
the ferrule.
Remove the shaft tube and cut on this line.
Reinstall the shaft tube and make sure you have
about ½ inch between the rear of the shaft tube and
the front of the ferrule.
When satisfied with the shaft tube, mark the front
and cut it to the same (distance from the collet) as
the stuffing tube. File any burrs.
Slide your squared shaft into the shaft tube, and
into the engine. Be sure it is all the way in the
engine (or clutch).
While holding the cable in this position, mark the
cable at the front of the ferrule. If you can’t get a
good mark on the cable, try wrapping a little
masking tape to the area first.
Remove the cable.
Make another mark 3/8 behind the first, and cut the
cable here. Remove the strut, reinstall the cable.
Install the strut, slipping the cable into the ferrule.
You should have about 1/8 inch of fore and aft “play
in the cable. If all is well, remove strut and cable.
Remove the ferrule from the stub shaft.
If the cable is used (weed trimmer), then clean the
cable as follows:
Heat the last 3 inches of the cable with a propane
torch until it starts to smoke. Move the flame back
to maintain a temperature that just causes the cable
to smoke. Do not overheat the cable. If the cable
gets red hot, it will be ruined…
Continue heating the cable until it stops smoking.
