Removing the Propeller Drive Motor

NOTICE

When removing the propeller drive motor from the shaft, you must pull the cables themselves, and not the motor. Pulling on the propeller drive motor may damage the cable connections inside the motor. The motor should not be supported by the cables alone. Supporting the motor only with the cables may damage the motor.

  1. Using a 5 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the six screws Callout number 1 that secure the shaft base to the propeller drive motor.

  2. Using the tool Callout number 2 included in the shaft and motor hardware service kit, remove the recessed nut Callout number 3 that secures the transducer cable to the shaft.

  3. Straighten the cables at the top of the shaft, and slowly pull the propeller drive motor away from the shaft base until you can see the power and data cables Callout number 4 connected to the propeller drive motor.

  4. Push the transducer cable grommet out from inside the downshaft adapter.
  5. While supporting the weight of the motor, slowly pull the cables through the shaft, taking care that the connectors do not get caught on the top of the shaft.

    The power and transducer cables should pull through the shaft completely.
