Gear Housing Installation
!
WARNING
Accidental starting can cause serious injury. Before removing or installing the gear housing, disconnect and isolate the spark
plug leads. Disable the ignition system by removing the keys from the ignition (if equipped) and engaging the lanyard stop
switch to prevent the engine from starting.
1. Place the gear shift lever in the neutral position.
2. Tilt the engine to the full up position.
3. Shift the gear housing into neutral. The propeller will rotate freely in either position.
NOTICE
Installing the gear housing to the powerhead without adequately cleaning the top of the driveshaft can result in severe
product damage. Any lubricant trapped in the space between the driveshaft and the crankshaft prevent the two from properly
engaging. Always clean the top of the driveshaft before installing the gear housing.
4. Apply a light coat of 2‑4‑C with PTFE to the driveshaft splines.
5. Position the driveshaft into the driveshaft housing. Move the gear housing upwards into the driveshaft housing while
aligning the shift shaft, water tube, and driveshaft splines.
NOTE: If the driveshaft splines will not align with the crankshaft splines, rotate the flywheel slightly while pushing the gear
housing into the driveshaft housing.
