Removing the Propeller Drive Motor

Before you can remove the propeller drive motor, you must remove the shaft from the steering servo (Removing the Shaft from the Steering Servo).

NOTE: When removing the propeller drive motor, using a ball-head hex bit or wrench is highly recommended because of the angle needed to reach the head of the screws.
  1. Using the tool Callout number one included in the shaft and motor hardware service kit, remove the recessed nut Callout number two that secures the transducer cable to the shaft.

  2. Using a ball-head 4 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the four screws Callout number three that secure the shaft base to the propeller drive motor.

    When replacing the transducer, you should dispose of these four screws. New screws, washers, and O-rings are provided in the shaft and motor hardware service kit.

  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 four connected to the propeller drive motor.

  4. Holding the cables only, slowly pull them through the shaft, taking care that the ring terminals and data cable connector do not get caught on the top of the shaft.
    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 power and data cables should pull through the shaft, but the transducer cable should mostly stay in place.
