You don’t have too but Teflon really helps when you take it apart a year later. Without the corrosion on the threads are so bad you can not unscrew it

@steve8803
@steve8803 10 ай бұрын
@JuanHernandez-jc6re it depends on the boat and the mount height. You want the propeller to be about 12" in the water.

i just got a trolling motor for my john boat and have a question is there a right and wrong for mounting your motor rear or bow?? from what i’ve researched what motor you have determines your mounting position, but am curious if there’s a reason other than that?? thank you!!

Thanks for this video. My tiller is shearing the bolts on the top gearbox and broke the top brace as well. Now I am thinking nothing is holding the bottom of the gearbox as there are no heads on those bolts or they fell out. Time to start investigating.

Question - when you removed your prop did the forward thrust hub came off easily (the yellow round plate the prop sits on)? My 60hp mercury 2022 prop came off but the hub seems like ceased to the shaft - it should be coming off easily, no? I too was thinking of pulling like you instead of trying to bang it. So if you could provide additional details I would appreciate. Also, did you have to use penetrating oil / liquid wrench at all?
@ArabiaBayRidge
@ArabiaBayRidge Жыл бұрын
I did not use oil. And my thrust washer was loose I would suggest a wire wheel on a drill clean the shaft good soak with penetrating oil and tap lightly

You do not have to move the motor or front differential The prop will slide back enough once you remove the roll pin

This IS superior to the way I just did it, it really is because it pulls it true--straight out. But my method worked and without the rigging. I used a rubber hammer--I know, sounds bad, but bear with me. I "tapped" pretty gently as I rotated the prop, each wrap is of course off-set, so as I said, not ideal. But after maybe 50 or less raps, I saw it break free from the seal it had made, then I pulled it straight off.

Nice job explaining the gearbox removal. Had similar seal leak with the pto shaft on my Tarter 5 ft. tiller. Used 00 grease and 85-140 gear oil and it worked until the seal popped out. Removed the pto shaft from the tractor tapped the seal back in and it now does not leak. Please check your your gearcase filler/breather fitting to be certain it is open. Let my tiller sit for a year and when I checked the chaincase fill level plug it was still under a great deal of pressure and it shot out some gear oil! That much pressure could cause a leak or pop a seal maybe, Thanks!

The tohatsu dealer in my area had it. It is clearly just a length of marine fuel line that he cut to length off a spool and and replaced. I'm guessing you could order some the same diameter from westmarine or amazon
