• Remove the propeller.
• Remove the motor from the intermediate
flange.

Installation tailpiece and intermediate flange
• Ensure that the plastic shim plate (1) has been positioned on the
tail piece.
• Place one packing (2) between the tail piece and the tunnel.
• Apply a sealant (e.g. polyurethane or silicone) between the tail
piece and packing, and between the packing and the tunnel wall.
• Place the tail piece in the hole in the tunnel.
Any extra packings used should be ones capable of justifying the
tail piece.
