Removing the Shaft

CAUTION

You must make sure the motor is securely latched in the deployed position before you proceed with this service. Working on the motor while the latch is not securely engaged may cause the motor to shift, potentially leading to entrapment or pinching, which can result in personal injury.

  1. Remove the shaft cap (Removing the Shaft Cap).
  2. Remove the depth limiter (Removing the Depth Limiter).
  3. While making sure the weight of the propeller drive motor is supported, loosen the depth adjustment collar on the base of the steering servo.
    NOTICE

    We recommend having a second installer support the propeller drive motor while you loosen the depth adjustment collar. The shaft may suddenly slide down and out of the steering servo, potentially hitting the ground and causing damage to the propeller drive motor.

  4. Slide the shaft down and out of the steering servo, taking care not to damage the skeg and transducer or snag the cables or connectors as you pull it through.
