WARNING
ill
Replace damaged components. Shift sys-
tem failure could cause loss of control
over direction of engine thrust.
To avoid personal injury, wear eye protec-
tion and regulate air pressure to not more
than 25 PSI (172 kPa).
Discard all seals, O-rings, gaskets, and clutch dog
spring.
Clean all gearcase components in solvent and dry
with compressed air. After cleaning, coat all inter-
nal components with u/tra-HPF gearcase lube to
prevent rusting.
Perform the following inspections:
• Gearcase housing - all gasket surfaces must
be free of gasket material. All threaded holes
must be free of corrosion and sealer.
• Gearcase anode - if anode has been reduced
to two-thirds of its original size, it must be
replaced. Refer to MAINTENANCE section for
testing procedure.
• Driveshaft - check splines for chips, wear,
and cracks. Bearing and gear surfaces must not
show signs of metal transfer, corrosion , or dis-
coloration . Severe spline wear might indicate an
exhaust housing or gearcase has been dis-
torted by impact damage.
• Water intake screen - must be clear. If
screen can't be cleaned , it must be replaced.
• All internal components - must be visually
inspected for signs of wear, distortion, chipping,
metal transfer, pitting, galling, and discoloration
due to improper lubrication.
• Water pump - check impeller for wear, crum-
bling , and hub bonding . Check impeller cup and
plate for scoring and distortion .
• Shift cam - Inspect the stepped surfaces for
excessive wear, chips, or other damage.
