Just finished lower unit, works great.
Johnnys picture helped me out, my shift rod was on the opposite side of prop shaft, along with pin and cotter pin. Had burrs on face of housing on gearcase and bearing, apparently caused with screwdrivers or punch’s trying to get apart, took burrs off with 4" sharpening stone.
A little too much grease, I had put 847 on o-ring, replaced with new o-ring, put oil around ring.
Put together for a dry run, fell right in place.
Put enough 847 to hold spaghetti seal in spots, finished 847 on skeg, fell in place, hand tighten screws, tap bearing assy front and back, used hand impact to finish tighten screws, checked shift and prop shaft, almost looked like I knew what I was doing.
Nice to have help when you need it, Thanks, Gene.
Question: The drive shear pin I took off was steel, I have seen a few with bronze or brass pins. Do the steel and the brass pins go to different horsepower class?
