Subsection 03 (REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION)

INSTALLATION

Installation of engine in watercraft is essentially
the reverse of removal procedures. However pay
particular attention to the following.
Rubber Mount, Shim and Screw
Check tightness and condition of rubber mounts.
If they have been removed, apply Loctite 243
(blue) on screw threads. Torque screws to 25 N•m
(18 lbf•ft).
CAUTION: Strict adherence to this torque is im-
portant to avoid damaging threads of alumi-
num insert in bilge.
Engine Support
Apply Loctite 243 (blue) to rear engine support
screws and torque to 25 N•m (18 lbf•ft).
TYPICAL
1. Torque engine support screws to 25 N•m (18 lbf•ft)
Positive Starter Cable
Torque nut of positive starter cable to 6 N•m
(53 lbf•in). Apply dielectric grease on nut.
Engine/Jet Pump Alignment
Alignment is necessary to eliminate possible vibra-
tion and/or damage to components. Check alignment
of engine using the following alignment tools.
Support plate kit (P/N 529 035 506).
NOTE: Use plate (P/N 529 035 507) for the 155.6 mm
(6-1/8 in) jet pump.

1. Plate
2. Support
Alignment shaft (P/N 295 000 141).
1. Alignment shaft
To verify alignment proceed as follows:
– Install the appropriate plate with the support to
hull with four nuts.
– Carefully slide shaft through support.
– Insert shaft end into PTO flywheel.
NOTE: Ensure the protective hose and carbon ring
(or seal carrier) is removed to check engine align-
ment. If the alignment is correct, the shaft will slide
easily without any deflection in PTO flywheel.
