BIGFOOT GEAR HOUSING
Page 6B-62 90-857046R1 NOVEMBER 2001
CAUTION
Do not use lubricant on top of drive shaft. Excess lubricant, that is trapped in clear-
ance space, will not allow drive shaft to fully engage with crankshaft. Subsequently,
tightening the gear housing fasteners (while lubricant is on top of drive shaft) will
load the drive shaft/crankshaft and damage either or both the power head and gear
housing. Top of drive shaft is to be wiped free of lubricant.
6. Apply a light coat of 2-4-C Marine Lubricant with Teflon onto drive shaft splines.
7. Apply a light coat of 2-4-C Marine Lubricant with Teflon on gear case shift shaft splines
and upper shift shaft splines. Do not use lubricant on ends of shift shafts.
8. Install components as shown in appropriate photo.
