Propeller Shaft Assembly
REMOVAL
CAUTION
Hold onto the propeller shaft assembly in the following step to avoid personal in-
jury and/or dropping components when turning the gear housing over.
1. While holding onto the propeller shaft, turn the gear housing over so that the bore
opening is facing down.
2. While moving the propeller shaft to the left (port) side of the gear housing, to allow the
shift spool to disengage from the shift crank, lower the propeller shaft out of the gear
housing.
NOTE: The rollers of the reverse gear bearing adaptor may become dislodged while re-
moving the propeller shaft assembly. If this occurs, inspect the bearing cage to see if it
has been damaged. If it has not been damaged simply snap the rollers back into position.
If it has been damaged it will be necessary to remove and replace the bearing as outlined
in the “Reverse Gear Bearing Adaptor Assembly”, ‘Component Disassembly and Reas-
sembly’ section.
