Re: Stern Drive Installation
No, don't have the alignment tool, do i need to purchase one?
yep. might as well get one now if yer gonna work on your drive. i procrastinated too, didn't wanna spend the bread or whatever. but ya gotta align it. plain and simple. so bite the bullet and get one now. i wished i'd have got one sooner than later... everytime you remove the drive. yer supposed to check alignment. side benifit is a good way to get spline grease into the coupler...
I do have an owners manual, but it's pretty confusing to read.
what service manual is that? install intrusctions are only one page long, (s/m #4, pp. 2B3) with 9 items to do.... if your not using the oem service manual, go get one, you have the resorce to do so that and have the right manual
You said to glue the large seal into place, what kind of adhesive do i need for that?
any 'ol glue will do i think. i believe last time i just used a light coating of bellows adheisive. ya just don't want that big seal to move out of place while your putting the drive back on since it makes a seal and keeps water out.
one very important thing i did forget to say... everything needs to be in fwd. the drive in fwd with the shift coupler faceing fwd. + the remote in fwd with the shift shaft faceing stright ahead.. also grease the drive shaft o rings on the drive shaft itself....
