GEARCASE
DISASSEMBLY

• Hydrostatic Seal Grooves — Must be in good
condition to help prevent propeller ventilation.
• Gearcase Anodes — If anodes have eroded to
two-thirds their original size, they must be
replaced.
• Drive Shaft — Check splines for visible dam-
age, twisting and wear. Severe spline wear indi-
cates the exhaust housing or gearcase has
been distorted, possibly by impact damage.
• Water Intake Screens — Check for damage
and blockage. If screens cannot be cleaned,
they must be replaced. Different screens are
available and should not be mixed. Refer to cor-
rect model parts manual for listing and descrip-
tion.
