LOWER UNIT 9-22
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
Connect clutch rod to shift rod as shown.
B
Make sure that chamfered edge of the turnbuckle faces
downward to seat against the lower nut when tightened.
Adjustment step :
1. Shift the clutch lever from Neutral through Forward and Re-
verse to check that proper engagement of both gears is at
an equal angle from Neutral.
• If Forward gear engages earlier (at a smaller angle) than
Reverse, the turnbuckle should be rotated clockwise until
both gears engage with the same amount of clutch lever
travel.
• If Reverse gear engages earlier than Forward, the turn-
buckle should be rotated counterclockwise.
TRIM TAB
Adjusting
The trim tab counteracts or minimizes propeller torque “pull” felt
through the steering system.
• To compensate for a veer to starboard, set trailing edge of tab
to the right (as viewed from behind).
• To compensate for a veer to port, set trailing edge of tab to
the left.
With a properly adjusted trim tab, steering will be neutral mean-
ing there should be no tendency for the steering to “pull” to ei-
ther port or starboard.
2. Lock the lower nut securely against the turnbuckle when
clutch lever adjustment is correct.
