Shimming (regular rotation model)
Shimming workflow
1. Remove the water pump assembly.
2. Measure the backlash before disassem-
bly.
3. Within specification?
4. YES
5. Shimming is not required.
6. NO
7. Disassemble the lower unit.
8. Select the pinion shims (T3).
9. Assemble the lower unit.
10. Measure the backlash.
11. Adjust the forward gear shim thickness
(T1) and reverse gear shim thickness
(T2).
12. Install the water pump assembly.
TIP:
• Make sure to drain the gear oil before measuring the backlash.
• If the backlash is within specification, shimming is not required.
• When assembling the original inner parts and a new lower case, shimming is required.
• When replacing the pinion, forward gear, reverse gear, bearings, drive shaft, or propeller shaft
housing, shimming is required.
