Note that when the prop-shaft housing

reaches about15mm from the end, it might
stop because -The thread on the lower unit
is designed with two levels;the first 15mm
of thread has a ‘loose’ fit while the
remainder is a ‘tight’ fit. So the prop-shaft
housing might tighten up at some point
between the first and secondlevels of
thread. When that happens, simply rotate
the prop-shaft housing left or right a bit until
the thread onthe housing engages into the
second level of thread onthe lower unit.

Note: Do NOT force the prop-shaft in when
you feel ittighten up as that could damage
the thread on the lowerunit.

Loctite the Prop-Shaft Housing

Loctite Applying Area

Sealant Applying Area

Apply both loctite and sealant on the prop-shaft housing; this is a very important step to keep the
prop-shaft housing hold firmly in place, especially for counter-rotation. It also prevents from the oil
and water leakage. Use a 21mm wrench to tighten the prop-shaft housing into place.
Note: Before trying to screw the prop-shaft housing out for maintenance, heat the loctite area from
outside in order to soften the loctite. Do NOT force it out with a wrench if you feel that it is hard to
unscrew.
