Found the following (in the photo) from the
Mercury manual explaining the differences
between the Mk 5 & 6 gear boxes.
Both require to be set up with .003 to .005
backlash.
What’s the proper way to measure backlash
on outboard gear boxes? I have a dial indicator,
but no clue how it would be set up. Believe
I have a magnetic base for the indicator, but
of course it’s not going to work on the aluminum
housing 🙁
The manual gives no clue that I’ve found so far.
Your wisdom most appreciated!
