Safety Precautions
Introduction
This Workshop Manual contains technical data, descriptions and repair instructions for Volvo Penta products or product versions contained in the contents list. Ensure that the correct workshop literature is being used. Read the safety information and the Workshop Manual General Information and Repair Instructions carefully before starting work. Check that the warning or information decals on the product are always clearly visible. Replace decals that have been damaged or painted over.
Important
In this book and on the engine you will find the following special warning symbols. WARNING! If these instructions are not followed there is a danger of personal injury, extensive damage to the product or serious mechanical malfunction. IMPORTANT! Used to draw your attention to something that can cause damage, product malfunction or damage to property. NOTE! Used to draw your attention to important information that will facilitate work or operations. Below is a summary of the risks and safety precautions you should always observe or carry out when operating or servicing the engine. Immobilize the engine by turning off the power supply to the engine at the main switch (switches) and lock it (them) in the OFF position before starting work. Set up a warning notice at the engine control point or helm.
Engine with turbocharger: Never start the engine without installing the air cleaner (ACL). The rotating compressor in the Turbo can cause serious personal injury. Foreign objects entering the intake ducts can also cause mechanical damage.
Never use start spray or similar to start the engine. The starter element may cause an explosion in the inlet manifold. Danger of personal injury.
Avoid opening the filler cap for engine coolant system (freshwater cooled engines) when the engine is still hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out. Open the coolant filler cap carefully and slowly to release pressure before removing the cap completely. Take great care if a cock, plug or engine coolant line must be removed from a hot engine. It is difficult to anticipate in which direction steam or hot coolant can spray out.
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hot oil. Ensure that the lubrication system is not under pressure before commencing work on it. Never start or operate the engine with the oil filler cap removed, otherwise oil could be ejected.
Generally, all servicing should be carried out with the engine switched off. Some work (carrying out certain adjustments for example) requires the engine to be running. Approaching a running engine is dangerous. Loose clothing or long hair can fasten in rotating parts and cause serious personal injury. If working in proximity to a running engine, careless movements or a dropped tool can result in personal injury. Avoid burns. Take precautions to avoid hot surfaces (exhausts, turbochargers, charge air pipes and starter elements etc.) and liquids in supply lines and hoses when the engine is running or has been turned off immediately prior to starting work on it. Reinstall all protective parts removed during service operations before starting the engine.
Stop the engine and close the sea cock before carrying out operations on the engine cooling system. Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area. If operating the engine in an enclosed space, ensure that exhaust gases and crankcase ventilation emissions are ventilated out of the working area.
Always use protective goggles where there is a danger of pieces of metal, sparks from grinding, acid or other chemicals being thrown into your eyes. Your eyes are very sensitive, injury can lead to loss of sight!
Avoid skin contact with oil. Long-term or repeated contact with oil can remove the natural oils from your skin. The result can be irritation, dry skin, eczema and other skin problems. Used oil is more dangerous to health than new oil. Use protective gloves and avoid using oil-soaked clothes and rags. Wash regularly, especially before meals. Use the correct barrier cream to prevent dry skin and to make cleaning your skin easier.
Store oil and fuel-soaked rags and fuel and oil filters safely. In certain conditions oil-soaked rags can spontaneously ignite. Used fuel and oil filters are environmentally dangerous waste and must be deposited at an approved site for destruction together with used lubricating oil, contaminated fuel, paint remnants, solvent, degreasing agents and waste from washing parts.
Most chemicals used in products (engine and transmission oils, glycol, petrol and diesel oil) and workshop chemicals (solvents and paints) are hazardous to health Read the instructions on the product packaging carefully! Always follow safety instructions (using breathing apparatus, protective goggles and gloves for example). Ensure that other personnel are not unwittingly exposed to hazardous substances (by breathing them in for example). Ensure that ventilation is good. Handle used and excess chemicals according to instructions.
Never allow a naked flame or electric sparks near the batteries. Never smoke in proximity to the batteries. The batteries give off hydrogen gas during charging which when mixed with air can form an explosive gas - oxyhydrogen. This gas is easily ignited and highly volatile. Incorrect connection of the battery can cause a spark which is sufficient to cause an explosion with resulting damage. Do not disturb battery connections when starting the engine (spark risk) and do not lean over batteries.
Never mix up the positive and negative battery terminals when installing. Incorrect installation can result in serious damage to electrical equipment. Refer to wiring diagrams.
Be extremely careful when tracing leaks in the fuel system and testing fuel injection nozzles. Use protective goggles! The jet ejected from a fuel injection nozzle is under very high pressure, it can penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury There is a danger of blood poisoning.
Always use protective goggles when charging and handling batteries. The battery electrolyte contains extremely corrosive sulfuric acid. If this comes into contact with the skin, wash immediately with soap and plenty of water. If battery acid comes into contact with the eyes, immediately flush with copious amounts of water and obtain medical assistance.
Turn off the engine and turn off power at main switch(es) before carrying out work on the electrical system.
All fuels and many chemicals are inflammable. Ensure that a naked flame or sparks cannot ignite fuel or chemicals. Combined with air in certain ratios, petrol, some solvents and hydrogen from batteries are easily inflammable and explosive. Smoking is prohibited! Ensure that ventilation is good and that the necessary safety precautions have been taken before carrying out welding or grinding work. Always have a fire extinguisher to hand in the workplace.
Clutch adjustments must be carried out with the engine turned off.
Use the lifting eyes mounted on the engine/reverse gear when lifting the drive unit. Always check that lifting equipment is in good condition and has sufficient load capacity to lift the engine (engine weight including reverse gear and any extra equipment installed). To ensure safe handling and to avoid damaging engine components on top of the engine, use a lifting beam to raise the engine. All chains and cables should run parallel to each other and as perpendicular as possible in relation to the top of the engine. If extra equipment is installed on the engine altering its center of gravity, a special lifting device is required to achieve the correct balance for safe handling. Never carry out work on an engine suspended on a hoist.
Always use fuels recommended by Volvo Penta. Refer to the Instruction Book. The use of lower quality fuels can damage the engine. On a diesel engine poor quality fuel can cause the control rod to seize and the engine to overrev with the resulting risk of damage to the engine and personal injury. Poor fuel quality can also lead to higher maintenance costs.
Never remove heavy components alone, even where secure lifting equipment such as secured blocks are being used. Even where lifting equipment is being used it is best to carry out the work with two people; one to operate the lifting equipment and the other to ensure that components are not trapped and damaged when being lifted. When working on-board ensure that there is sufficient space to remove components without danger of injury or damage.
Components in the electrical system, ignition system (gasoline engines) and fuel system on Volvo Penta products are designed and constructed to minimize the risk of fire and explosion. The engine must not be run in areas where there are explosive materials.
General information
About the workshop manual
This workshop manual contains technical specification, descriptions and instructions for repairing the standard versions of the drives AQ270B, C, D. The product designation and number should be given in all correspondence about the drive. This Workshop Manual has been developed primarily for Volvo Penta service workshops and qualified personnel. Persons using this book are assumed to have a grounding in marine drive systems and be able to carry out related mechanical and electrical work. Volvo Penta is continuously developing their products. We therefore reserve the right to make changes. All the information contained in this book is based on product data available at the time of going to print. Any essential changes or modifi cations introduced into production or updated or revised service methods introduced after the date of publication will be provided in the form of Service Bulletins.
Replacement parts
Replacement parts for electrical and fuel systems are subject to statutory requirements (US Coast Guard Safety Regulations for example). Volvo Penta Genuine parts meet these requirements. Any type of damage which results from the use of nonoriginal Volvo Penta replacement parts for the product will not be covered under any warranty provided by Volvo Penta.
Repair instructions
The working methods described in the Service Manual apply to work carried out in a workshop. The engine has been removed from the boat and is installed in an engine fixture. Unless otherwise stated reconditioning work which can be carried out with the engine in place follows the same working method. Warning symbols occurring in the Workshop Manual (for their meaning see Safety information) WARNING! IMPORTANT! NOTE! are not in any way comprehensive since it is impossible to predict every circumstance under which service work or repairs may be carried out. For this reason we can only highlight the risks that can arise when work is carried out incorrectly in a wellequipped workshop using working methods and tools developed by us. All procedures for which there are Volvo Penta special tools in this Workshop Manual are carried out using these. Special tools are developed to rationalize working methods and make procedures as safe as possible. It is therefore the responsibility of any person using tools or working methods other than the ones recommended by us to ensure that there is no danger of injury, damage or malfunction resulting from these. In some cases there may be special safety precautions and instructions for the use of tools and chemicals contained in this Workshop Manual. These special instructions should always be followed if there are no separate instructions in the Workshop Manual. Certain elementary precautions and common sense can prevent most risks arising. A clean workplace and engine eliminates much of the danger of injury and malfunction. It is of the greatest importance that no dirt or foreign particles get into the fuel system, lubrication system, intake system, turbocharger, bearings and seals when they are being worked on. The result can be malfunction or a shorter operational life.
Tightening torques
Tightening torques for vital joints that must be tightened with a torque wrench are listed in workshop manual Technical Data: Tightening Torques and are contained in work descriptions in this Manual. All torques apply for cleaned threads, screw heads and mating surfaces. Torques apply for lightly oiled or dry threads. If lubricants, locking fluid or sealing compound are required for a screwed joint this information will be contained in the work description and in Tightening Torques Where no tightening torque is stated for a joint use the general tightening torques according to the tables below. The tightening torques stated are a guide and the joint does not have to be tightened using a torque wrench. Dimension M5 M6 M8 M10 M12 M14 Tightening Torques Nm lbt.ft 6 10 25 50 80 140 4.4 7.4 18.4 36.9 59.0 103.3
To ensure service work is correctly carried out it is important that the correct sealant and locking fluid type is used on the joint where the agents are required. In this Volvo Penta Workshop Manual the user will find that each section where these agents are applied in production states which type was used on the engine. During service operations use the same agent or an alternative from a different manufacturer. Make sure that mating surfaces are dry and free from oil, grease, paint and anti-corrosion agent before applying sealant or locking fluid. Always follow the manufacturers instructions for use regarding; temperature range, curing time and any other instructions for the product. Tow different basic types of agent are used on the engine and these are: RTV agent (Room temperature vulcanizing). Use for gaskets, sealing gasket joints or coating gaskets. RTV agent is clearly visible when a component has been dismantled; old RTV must be removed before the joint is resealed. The following RTV agents are mentioned in the Service Manual: Loctite 574, Volvo Penta 840879-1, Permatex No. 3, Volvo Penta P/N 1161099-5, Permatex No. 77. Old sealant can be removed using methylated spirits in all cases. Anaerobic agents. These agents cure in an absence of air. They are used when two solid parts, for example cast components, are installed face-to-face without a gasket. They are also commonly used to secure plugs, threads in stud bolts, cocks, oil pressure switches and so on. The cured material is glasslike and it is therefore colored to make it visible. Cured anaerobic agents are extremely resistant to solvents and the old agent cannot be removed. When reinstalling the part is carefully degreased and then new sealant is applied. The following anaerobic agents are mentioned in the Workshop Manual: Loctite 572 (white), Loctite 241 (blue).
NOTE! Loctite is the registered trademark of Loctite Corporation, Permatex is the registered trademark of the Permatex Corporation.
Locknuts
Do not re-use lock nuts that have been removed during dismantling as they have reduced service life when re-used use new nuts when assembling or reinstalling. For lock nuts with a plastic insert such as Nylock the tightening torque stated in the table is reduced if the Nylock nut has the same head height as a standard hexagonal nut without plastic insert. Reduce the tightening torque by 25% for bolt size 8 mm or larger. Where Nylock nuts are higher, or of the same height as a standard hexagonal nut, the tightening torques given in the table apply.
Tolerance classes
Screws and nuts are divided into different strength classes, the class is indicated by the number on the bolt head. A high number indicates stronger material, for example a bolt marked 10-9 indicates a higher tolerance than one marked 8-8. It is therefore important that bolts removed during the disassembly of a bolted joint must be reinstalled in their original position when assembling the joint. If a bolt must be replaced check in the replacement parts catalogue to make sure the correct bolt is used.
Sealants
A number of sealants and locking liquids are used on the drive. The agents have varying properties and are used for different types of jointing strengths, operating temperature ranges, resistance to oil and other chemicals and for the different materials and gap sizes.
Part 1 Description
General description, Aquamatic 270
Outboard model AQ270 is compact unit suspended in a shield on the boats transom. The unit can be steered horizontally using a steering rod on the inside of the shield and can be raised with an electro-mechanical lift operated from the driving position. All exterior components are manufactured from corrosion resistant materials. In order to further increase the corrosion resistance all components which are subject to corrosion are carefully surface treated. Zinc electrodes, which protect the drive unit from damage caused by galvanic currents are fitted on the lower gear housing behind the propeller and to the shield. See Figs 3 and 4. The engine cooling water is sucked in through the two cooling water inlets on the lower gear housing. See 21, Fig 1. The exhaust gases and cooling water are taken through the exhaust channel of the outboard drive and released under the rear edge of the cavitation plate. The shift mechanism consists of the Volvo Penta patented cone clutch, of Silent-Shift type. The mechanism is fitted with servo disengagement and self-adjusting friction cones and is quiet in engagement and easy to operate. then rotate for running forward. When the control lever is moved to the Reverse position, the engaging sleeve is moved upwards until it engages with the taper (9)on the upper gear, thus producing the opposite direction of rotation. In the neutral position, the engaging sleeve is retained in an intermediate position so that both the gears rotate freely. The gearing described above gives standard rotation to the propeller shaft, that is, a propeller with a left-hand thread. In the case of propeller rotation in the opposite direction (starboard drive in case of double installation), then the upper gear (8) functions as forward gear and the lower gear (8) as reverse. When running in reverse, the outboard drive is kept in its normal position by means of a retaining pawl (22).
Steering
The outboard drive is steered by the movements of the steering wheel which are transmitted through an internally located steering rod (1) which is fitted on the steering yoke (3). The action of the steering rod is independent of the degree to which the drive is tipped up. The lower parts of the yoke arms are carried in a steering casing (6) which is, in its turn, bolted to the upper gear housing of the outboard drive. The steering angle of the drive is about 30 from the neutral position.
Power transmission
Power from the engine is transmitted to the upper gear housing through the vibration damper (27), Fig. 1, the shaft (25) and the double universal joint (5). From the universal joint the power is transmitted to the input gear (7) for forward and reverse, which is in constant mesh with Forward and Reverse gears (8). These gears are carried on the countershaft so that they can rotate independently of the shaft. Between the gears (8) there is a cone clutch which makes possible disengagement and reversal of the direction of rotation of the vertical drive shaft (14). The lower end of this shaft drives the propeller shaft (18) through the propeller gearing. The total reduction ratio for the drive 270B is 1.61:1, for the drive 270C it is 1.89:1 and for the 270D 2.15:1.
Lift device
In order to facilitate tipping-up of the outboard drive, it is fitted with an electrical-mechanical lift device (2), which is operated from the steering seat. The lift device is fitted on the inside of the transom shield and consists of an electric motor which operates a push rod on the pivot yoke through the medium of a worm gear. This releases the retaining pawl and lifts out the drive to its tipped-up position. The electric motor cuts out automatically as soon as the drive has attained its fully tipped-up or fully lowered positions. When the drive is being lowered, it is automatically centred independent of the position of the steering wheel. The maximum tipped-up angle is about 60. The outboard drive remains in the required tipped-up position and for this reason the unit can be run when partly tipped up during shorter periods and at low speed.
Manoeuvering
The countershaft is fitted with a thread between the forward and reverse gears (8), and it is on this thread that the engaging sleeve (11) can be moved up and down by means of the control mechanism (12). Both ends of the engaging sleeve are tapered so that when the sleeve is moved upwards or downwards, the tapered surfaces engage with the corresponding outer tapers 9 which are screwed onto the forward and reverse gears. Since the engaging sleeve (11) is journalled on the countershaft thread, increased transmission torque from the engine assists in more positive engagement and increased frictional power between the engaging sleeve and the gear tapers. When the control lever is moved to the Forward position, the engaging sleeve (11) engages with the taper of the lower gear, whereby the vertical drive shaft (14) is locked in engagement with the gear. The propeller will 8
Lubrication
The outboard drive is fitted with an oil system which is common to both the upper and lower gear housing. The oil is circulated through all the gears and bearings by means of an oil circulation pump (17) which is fitted on the gear in the lower gear housing. The oil is cooled by the water flowing past the lower part of the outboard drive. A dipstick for checking the oil level is fitted in the cover above the upper gear housing. The double universal joint is lubricated for life and requires no periodical servicing.

assembly by taking off the divided lock ring (51) and washer (50). Make line-up marks on the gears to ensure they are re-fitted in the same place. NOTE! Be very careful with the engaging sleeve and the gear tapers that they do not get scratched. 6. Remove the needle bearings and the spacer rings (48 and 49) from the upper and lower gear assemblies. Note that the needle bearings are matched in pairs, and must not get mixed up. Press the upper and lower gears loose from the bearings (39). Use tools 884386 and 884259 for this purpose. 7. Press the bearings (39) out of the bearing sleeves (40). Use tools 884386 and 884265 for this purpose. 8. Remove the twelve-sided bolt (34), 1/2" width across flats, a hexagonal socket screw is fitted on later drives as of and including PZ No. 272 1099 and the stop washer (35) in the center of the universal joint stem and pull out the joint. Then press the double bearing box (12) out of the clamp ring (36). Use a rubber mallet if necessary. NOTE: Take care of the shims. 9. Remove the stop washer (18) from the double bearing box. NOTE: Take care of the shims. Then remove the lock ring (17). After this take off the seal (16), which is always replaced by a new one. Press out the input drive (11) with the help of tools 884386 and 884259, see Fig. 6.
10. If necessary, press the roller bearing (12) from the drive with the help of a knife puller. The bearings (12) can be replaced separately. With replacement of the outer races for the bearings, the races must be tapped out evenly all round. The oil deflector washer must always be replaced in connection with changing the bearing races. 11. Wash the parts thoroughly and check for wear. If necessary, replace parts. NOTE: Gears with tapers are sold in sets in order to ensure the proper tooth contact.

1. In order to get a clear picture of the tooth contact pattern, smear the teeth of the input gear and meshing gear with a thin coating of marking paint. Then fit the Forward gear in the gear housing (2) with the measured shims. 2. Fix the tool 884387 for the upper gear housing in a vice. 3. Fit the upper gear housing so that the bearing coincides with the corresponding recess in the tool. 4. Fit the assembled double bearing box (12) with 0.3 mm (0.012") shims. NOTE: The guide pin in the double bearing box should face downwards and fit in the corresponding slot. 5. Fit the clamp ring together with enough shims that the ring actually presses in the double bearing box. There must be a clearance between the gear housing and the clamp ring. 6. Measure the backlash with a rocker arm indicator. See Fig. 13. The backlash should be 0.150.25 mm (0.00600.0098") on B models. On other models C and D the backlash should be 0.080.18 mm (0.0030.007"). If the backlash is too small, more shims should be placed between the double bearing box (12) and the upper gear housing (2). If the backlash is too large, reduce the thickness of shims. Note point 5. 7. Rotate the gear in its correct direction of rotation (clockwise) while braking the gear hard at the same time by pushing against the taper on the gear with a wooden handle. See Fig. 14. The marking paint on the gear teeth is then pressed off from the surfaces where the teeth mesh and this gives a picture of the tooth contact pattern and its position. 8. Remove the gear assembly and compare the contact pattern on the teeth with the pattern shown in Fig. 15 (A). This shows the ideal tooth contact on the drive side which should be aimed at for both the input drive 1 (the double bearing box) and gears 2 and 3 (forward and reverse gears respectively). The contact pattern is practically oval in shape and, on the drive side, is on the centre of the tooth vertically but displaced towards the toe. 9. If the contact pattern is like (B), Fig. 15, the thickness of shims should be reduced under drive 1 (the dou-
Fig. 14. ble bearing box), so that the drive 1 is moved towards the centre. If the contact pattern is like (C), the thickness of shims under drive 1 (the double bearing box) should be increased, so that the drive 1 is moved from the centre. NOTE: Should the drive 1 be moved in or out, gear 2 must be moved correspondingly out or in so as to keep the backlash unchanged. 10. When the correct backlash and tooth contact pattern have been obtained for the forward gear, adjust the reverse gear as follows: Coat drive 1 and the reverse gear 3 with a thin coating of marking paint. Then fit the reverse gear in the gear housing (2) with measured shims. Tool 884387 fits only the lower gear. In order to keep the upper bearing in position, use a cover with too many shims fitted. 11. Measure the backlash according to point 6. Then compare the contact pattern in accordance with points 79. NOTE: Shims may only be altered under reverse gear 3, since otherwise the adjustment for the forward gear is altered.

Fit the needle bearings (43) with the spacer ring (49) between the bearings and the shafts lower circlips (50 and 51), Fig. 18. NOTE: The needle bearings are classed in pairs and must not be mixed up. 5. In order to obtain the correct axial clearance on the shaft (43), a choice can be made between three nuts (52) with flats of different thicknesses. Begin by fitting the nut with part No. 897311. Tighten the nut (52) on top of the countershaft to a torque of 6 kpm (45 lb. ft.). A new type of nut is fitted on later drives. This nut is of steel with a wear face of brass, classified to three thickness: 2.0; 2.37 and 2.65 mm (0.0785; 0.093 and 0.104"). Tightening torque for the new nut is 12 kpm (90 lb. ft.). NOTE: The nuts have left-hand threads. Use tool 884264 as a counterhold. Then measure the clearance between the nut (52) and the bearing (39). The axial clearance should be between 0.10.5 mm (0.0040.020"). If the clearance is greater (max. 0.75 mm = 0.030"), fit the nut with part No. 814360. Where the clearance exceeds 0.75 mm (0.030"), but max. 1.05 mm (0.041"), fit the nut with part No. 814361. Should the clearance exceed 1.05 mm (0.041"), the bearings (39) are defective. 6. Measure the thickness of shims between the clamp ring (36) and the gear housing as follows: Place the double bearing box with the measured shims (15) in position. Add so many shims to the clamp ring that there is a clearance of max. 0.10 mm (0.004") between the clamp ring and gear housing. Press the clamp ring into position with the hand and then measure with a feeler gauge all round. See Fig. 19. 7. Again remove tool 884483 from the double bearing box. Remove the stop washer (18) and the shims. Press the new sealing ring (16) up against the shoulder on the double bearing box, with the open part facing downwards. Use tools 9991801 and 884312, see Fig. 20. Fit the circlip (17) and the stop washer (18) with shims. 8. Fix the O-ring (19) on the stop washer (18) with grease. 16
Fig. 19. 9. Fit the shims and the two new O-rings (14) on the double bearing box. 10. Place the clamp ring (36) and the double bearing box on the universal joint. NOTE: The guide pin should fit in the slot on the clamp ring. Fit the stop washer (35) and the bolt (34). A new bolt (34) should be used for the final fitting. Use VP 1161053-2 or Loctite 270 adhesive on this bolt. Tighten the bolt to a torque of 12.5 kpm (90 lb. ft.) or 8 kpm (60 lb. ft) for respectively screw. 11. As a protection against corrosion, smear the surfaces between the clamp ring and the gear housing with sealing compound VP 1141570-0 or Permatex 679, before fitting. 12. Fit the double bearing box with the universal joint in the gear housing. The guide pin in the double bearing box should face downwards. Stick the bolts with VP 1161053-2 or Loctite 270 and tighten to a torque of 3.5 kpm (25 lb. ft.).

Fig. 22. compress the spring. Clip the wire and turn down the end in the cover recess. The only function of the locking wire is to hold in the spring while the control mechanism is being fitted in the gear housing. 4. Fit the spring and friction lug (56) as well as the O-ring (67). Coat the contact surfaces with VP 1141570-0 or Permatex 679. Tighten the control mechanism in the gear housing so that the bolt (61) in the cover (54) is displaced towards the starboard. See Fig. 23. 5. Set the control mechanism to neutral position and remove all the shims (62) under the bolt (61). Now it will not be possible to rotate the shaft (43). Then fit the shims one at a time until the shaft can be rotated without resistance. After adjusting, apply sealing agent to the shims and bolt. Final fitting then follows.
FITTING

Fig. 36. 23
1. Then fit the propeller shaft with bearing in the housing. Take care when fitting that the bearing is not located at a slant in the bearing housing or that the sealing rings are not damaged. 2. Fit the propeller shaft with bearing box in the gear housing. Tighten the bolt to a torque of 4 kpm (29 lb.ft.) 3. Check the backlash, which is measured directly on the vertical drive shaft splines. Here the clearance should be 0.060.10 mm (0.00230.0040"), which gives a backlash of 0.150.25 mm (0.0060.010") on the gears. See Fig. 37. If the backlash does not agree, adjust it as follows. If method I, page 16, has been chosen: Should the clearance be too small, increase the thickness of shims under the ball bearing (9), and if it is excessive, reduce the shim thickness. If method II, page 16, has been chosen: Should the clearance be too small, reduce the thickness of shims in the propeller bearing housing (3) and if it is excessive, increase the shim thickness. 4. Undo the screws and pull out the propeller shaft. 5. Coat marking paint on the gears and drive. 6. Fit the propeller shaft with bearing box in the gear housing. Tighten the screws to a torque of 4 kpm (29 lb.ft. ). 7. Fit tool 884264 on the end of the splines and rotate the shaft in its proper direction of rotation, clockwise for a left-hand threaded propeller and anti-clockwise for a right-hand threaded propeller, while braking the propeller shaft hard at the same time. See Fig. 39.
8. Check that the contact pattern on the tooth surfaces of the drive side agree with the contact pattern (A), Fig. 38. The pattern should be in the center of the tooth vertically but towards the toe. If the contact pattern is like (B), reduce the shim thickness on the vertical shaft and on the propeller shaft. If the contact pattern is like (C), increase the shim thickness for the vertical shaft and for the propeller shaft. NOTE: If the drive is moved, adjust the gear accordingly in order not to disturb the backlash.

Fitting
1. Separate drive and gear and wash off the contact paint. Re-fit with measured shims. 2. Fit the spacer ring (14), the lock washer (15) and the nut (16) on the vertical drive shaft. Tighten the nut and lock with the lock washer (15). 3. Tighten the nut (17) holding the drive in position to a torque of 16 kpm (115 lb.ft.) and then lock the nut with the lock washer (18). Use tool 884264 on the end of the splines as a counterhold. See Fig. 40. 4. Place both the O-rings (29) on the propeller shaft bearing housing. Coat VP 1141570-0 or Permatex 679 on the contact surfaces and screws. Fit the bearing housing with shaft in the lower gear housing and tighten both the internal hex screws to a torque of 4 kpm (29 lb.ft.).
A shim thickness of 0.05 mm (0.0020") should be fitted on the axial bearing outer ring (13), which gives in this example a clearance of 0.02 mm (0.0008").
Fig. 40.
Fig. 41. 25
2. Press in the axial bearings outer race (13) with the measured shims in the intermediate housing. Use, for example, drift 884263. 3. Place the oil strainer and pipe in the oil channel. Assemble the intermediate and lower gear housings. Use three new O-rings (29, 40) and coat the contact surfaces with VP 1141570-0 or Permatex 679. Tighten the screws to a torque of 1.5 kpm (11 lb.ft.) in diagonal sequence. 4. Fit the oil drain plug in the gear housing (tightening torque 1 kpm = 7 lb.ft.). NOTE: Do not forget the packing.
2. Determine the depth of the corresponding recess for the bearing race in the intermediate housing Fig. 45 and add to the measurement under point 1 above enough shims so that the depth of the intermediate housing is exceeded by max. 0.1 mm (0.004"). 3. Fit the spline sleeve (41, Fig. 59) on the vertical drive shaft and the two O-rings (7, 34, Fig. 58) and shims (8) calculated under point 2 on the intermediate housing. Coat VP 1141570-0 or Permatex 679 on the dividing surface. Fit the upper gear housing on the intermediate housing. Tighten the screws evenly all round and in diagonal sequence to a torque of 2 kpm (14 lb. ft.).

Part VI Anti-corrosion
Before installing the drive unit in the boat, check it for any corrosion damage. Check the contact surfaces of the zinc protectors. If these are worn down to more than 50%, they should be replaced. Paintwork which is exposed to mechanical abrasion should be touched-up where damaged. The damaged spot must first be rubbed clean. Sandpaper with grain thicker than 220 must not be used. Wash clean with white spirit or thinner. If the light-alloy parts are damaged so that pores have arisen, these should be filled up with, for example, Plastic Padding or Spar Var Filling-up. Concerning hardening and drying times, see the instructions given on the containers for the respective materials. Polish the surface smooth. Paint the spot concerned with primer, Spar Var EXP (2-component) in those cases where the polishing has penetrated to the light-alloy. The drying time for the primer is approx. 24 hours. This drying time can be shortened by raising the temperature (max 65C = 140F). The primer does not need to be polished. If polishing is carried out after all, there must be no polishing through to the metal. Touch-up the spot concerned with VP genuine touching-up paint, twice with a drying interval of 24 hours between each application. If it is desired to shorten the drying time, the temperature can be raised to max 65C (140F). Wet-polish with 220-paper between applications. Primer, Spar Var EXP, can be applied with a brush or sprayed on to the drive unit. When thinning out the paint, thinner must be used, it contains xylene. In room temperature, the drying time is about 24 hours but the time can be shortened by raising the temperature (max. 65C = 140F). If the outside of the drive unit is in such a condition that touching up of affected spots does not give fully satisfactory results, the entire drive unit should be repainted. Attn.! The zinc protectors must not be painted. In order to protect the drive unit against marine growth, the entire outboard drive, including the retaining pawl, cooling water inlet and mounting collar must be painted with anti-marine growth paint. It must not contain bronze or copper. Attn! This paint should not be sprayed on since it contains chemicals which are dangerous to inhale. After the touching-up paint has dried, before painting with anti-marine growth paint, polish the surface slightly with wet-polishing paper 400. In order to be effective, the painting should be done twice, allowing each coat to dry overnight. The boat should be launched at the earliest 12 hours after the final application.

10. Pull down the retaining pawl against the stop (the stop lugs) on the journalling (43) and release the locknut for the thrust sleeve 2, Fig. 49. Adjust the thrust sleeve with the retaining pawl still down so that the sleeve comes to the level of or max. 0.5 mm (0.02") below the contour of the yoke, see B, Fig 49. Lock the thrust sleeve with the counternut. Then press the drive forwards towards the locating pin and check that the upper end of the thrust rod 3 is not in contact with the thrust plate of the lift. When the lift 1 is tilted up, the retaining pawl releases. 11. Check the hooking of the retaining pawl on the locating pin by pulling the drive first backwards and then in both the outer steering positions. Then check that the electro-mechanical lift 1 releases the retaining pawl from the locating pin when the drive tips up. With the drive released fully downwards and the locating pin in the very inside hole, clearance should be assured between the thrust plate of the lift and the release rod of the retaining pawl. 12. Check the free travel of the retaining pawl. Press the drive forwards and secure the retaining pawl in this position. Then move the drive backwards and check that the retaining pawl does not hook on the locating pin. 13. Fit the protective cover 12, over the shift mechanism, and fill the drive unit with oil. The unit has a capacity of about 2.2 litres oil (2.3 US quarts). See Part X, Specifications. Lubricate the steering rod journalling.
