GEARCASE HOUSING
INSPECTION
Thoroughly clean gearcase housing to remove all
dirt and debris prior to inspection. Inspect pinion
bearing and forward thrust surface of gearcase
housing.
Use Gearcase Alignment Gauge Kit, P/N 5006349
to check the condition of gearcase housing prior
to reassembly. Refer to instructions provided with
kit. Use additional Gauging Head as follows:
• P/N 352879, for “S2” Type gearcase housings
• P/N 5007750, for “L2” Type gearcase housings
• P/N 5007749, for “M2” Type gearcase housings
Use Alignment Gauge Puller,
P/N 354718, to install and remove press fit pro-
peller shaft bearing housing in L2 and M2 Type
gearcase housings.
Failure to follow this procedure will result in
inability to remove gauging head, forward
thrust bearing and forward bearing housing
from gearcase housing.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT force gauging shaft into
alignment hole. Shaft MUST slide easily into hole
of gauging head. If shaft does not slide into hole,
gearcase housing is damaged and must be
replaced.
