-
Using canned compressed air or an air compressor, blow out any dirt or debris in the six threaded holes on the top of the propeller drive motor.
-
Gently feed the cables the rest of the way through the shaft.
NOTICE
When feeding the cables, you must pull on the cable and not on the cable connectors. Pulling the cable connectors may damage the connectors.
-
Prepare the six bolts
in the kit by placing a washer 
and a 4.75 mm (3/16 in.) O-ring 
on each one.
NOTE:
There are three different bolt lengths. Make sure the bolts are in the positions shown in the illustration before tightening. The bolt length corresponds to the downshaft adapter height.
-
Using the grease packet included in the kit, apply grease to the 4.75 mm (3/16 in.) O-ring on each bolt.
Avoid getting grease on the bolt threads.
-
Apply a medium-strength thread-locking compound (not included) such as
LOCTITE® 243™ to the threads in the six threaded holes on the top of the propeller drive motor.
NOTICE
You must apply thread-locking compound in these holes to maintain a tight connection between the shaft base and the propeller drive motor. Failure to use thread-locking compound can lead to water ingress and damage to the motor.
-
Using a 5 mm hex bit or wrench, thread all six of the prepared bolts approximately halfway to make sure that the shaft base and the propeller drive motor are properly aligned and the gasket is in place.
-
With the shaft base and the propeller drive motor properly aligned, lightly tighten all six bolts by hand.
-
Using a torque wrench, tighten all six bolts to 4 N-m (3 lbf-ft).
