  • Page 33 Pull the drive shaft, and remove the bevel gear B. Each part should be cleaned. Otherwise the backlash can not have correct measurement if gear oil remains surface of gears. *About necessity of the backlash measurement management The recent outboard motor tends it to be upsized. The gear in the lower unit transmits the big output to a propeller only by the primary gear reduction of bevel gear.
  • Page 34 [The Backlash] There are kind of gear B in the case. These have the processing dimensions gaps of a gear case and need an adjustment using shims for gear. This adjustment is needed to have a best gear tooth. It is done to backlash adjustment in a factory, and it is shipped to the world. The way of thinking is as follows.

  • Page 36 *When you measure the backlash, better to settle lower side as shown. The reason is for stable bearing contact. In addition, when you measure the backlash, hold the drive shaft by your hand closely to the lower case. The reason is the drive shaft shakes caused by hand and a correct measurement is not possible.
  • Page 37 2. Apply pre-load to the A gear like backlash measurement. (Turn the propeller shaft tightening bolt clockwise. When the A gear begins to turn together, turn the nut additionally 45 degrees.) 3. Turn the drive shaft 6 times by pulling the drive shaft to the top side. 4.
