Lower Unit Assembly

Install the Water Outlet Tube Here.

Apply Some Loctite on Thread.

Apply Some Sealant Here.

Apply some sealant on the flat part of the steel prop shaft housing, and apply
some Loctite on the thread part of the housing.
Using the 21mm wrench, screw the prop shaft housing assembly into the lower
unit; please keep the front side pointed down until the sealant is dry.

Note: The above sealing procedure is very important; without properly sealing, water
might get into the lower unit or oil might leak out. As well, the Loctite on the thread part
of the steel housing is very import, especially for the Dragon Drive with counter-rotation
application; without Loctite on the thread, the housing might loosen during operation
which could cause gears to become improperly engaged leading to wear and possible
damage. However, when you plan to unscrew the housing for maintenance or changing
the oil after having applied Loctite on the thread, you will first need to loosen the Loctite
by heating the thread area from outside of the unit with a heat gun. This technique will
avoid damaging the threads on the inside of the lower unit.
