Final assembly

Grease the propeller shaft
with 'outboard gear grease'
and install the propeller.
The propeller should run a
minimum of 1.5 mm free of
the thrust tube wall, all round.
Slide the flexible coupling
onto the output spindle of the
electric motor as far as nec-
essary to allow the end of the
output spindle (A) and the
underside of the flange (B) to
become aligned.
Tighten the lock-screw (C).
Grease the threads of the fas-
tenings bolts with 'outboard
gear grease' and install the
electric motor to the interme-
diate flange.
For a first check, turn the
propeller by hand, it should
turn easily, whilst being con-
nected to the output spindle
of the electric motor.
Check to ensure that the tail-
piece shaft does not come
into contact with the electric
motor shaft.
