Rubber seal. S-drive
Check the rubber seal between the drive and the hull
regularly for cracks and wear.
WARNING! The seal must be changed every
seven years or earlier if it is defective. This work
should be carried out by an authorized
workshop.
Corrosion protection. Checking/
Replacing
Check the sacrificial anodes, if 50% of the material
has been corroded replace the anode (also applies
to anodes on the propeller and reverse gear).
Remove a folding propeller according to the
instructions on the next page. Remove anode by
removing the two screws. Scrape mating surface on
the drive really clean. Install and tighten the new
anode so that there is a good metal contact. Clean
the new anode to remove oxidation just before the
boat is launched.
MPORTANT! Use emery paper. Do not use a
wire brush or other steel tools when cleaning, as
these may damage the galvanic protection.
IMPORTANT! Use zinc sacrificial anodes for
salt water and magnesium anodes for
freshwater.
Propeller shaft seal. Reverse gear
If the boat has a Volvo Penta shaft the shaft seal
must be vented and lubricated directly after
launching.
Vent the bushing by pressing it together while press-
ing down on the shaft until water appears. Then press
in approx. 1 cc water repellent grease into the seal.
IMPORTANT! The seal must be replaced every
500 running hours or every 5th year.
