Checking and Replacing the Mount Rails

The rails protect the propeller drive motor and the mount from impact when stowing the motor, and may become worn over time. If the rails are damaged or worn and the mount base is visible through them, you must replace them.

  1. With the motor in the stowed position, examine the rails 1 for wear and damage.

  2. Select an action:

    • If the rails are in good condition, and you cannot see the metal mount base though any worn areas, no further action is needed.

    • If the rails are damaged or if you can see the metal mount base through worn areas in the rails, proceed to the next step to replace them.

  3. Using a 4 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the screws 2 that secure the shrouds 3 to the mount base.

  6. Secure the shrouds to the mount base using the screws you removed previously.
