M8-Collector Performance Tip

#1: Lubrication oil needs to be changed for every 10-12 hours of use.

#2: When the M8 drive replaces with new gear and seals, it will be tight to turn
it, and it is normal, just simply use a short flexible shaft and connect it to
electric driller, then run it for 5-10 minutes, it will become loose. With the brand
new M8 drive or after replacing the new gears, we recommend to run it for
about 2-3 tanks of gas with half throttle before go on the full speed.

#3: No matter for single or twin M8 set up, we recommend the gas engine to
have a clutch system installed for easier engine starting.

#4: Every time before you run your boat, make sure the prop-shaft housing is
secured firmly in the lower unit, especially for the right hand rotation drive, as if
the prop-shaft housing loosing out during the operation, it could have the gears
improperly engaged and cause damage. This is very important step for the M8
drives to have long-lasting performance.

#5: The bearing in the M8 lower unit is designed to be loose fit, so, it can be
easy to take out when you need to replace it. It was hold in place by some
loctite, therefore, every time when you change the gear oil and re-install the
prop-shaft housing assembly, make sure this bearing is not loosing out and still
in place.

Thank You! Enjoy your M8-Collector Version Stern drive!
