CAUTION: The Warner Gear shift lever MUST BE IN
FORWARD; that is, positioned over the letter "F"
which is embossed in the case casting for
FORWARD gear. Likewise, the shift lever must be
positioned over the letter "R" for REVERSE gear
on all gear models.
Engine Alignment and Mounting Adjustments
The engine must be aligned to the propeller shaft within
.003' (.076mm) or less when measured between the mating
surfaces of the transmission coupling flange and the
propeller shaft coupling flange. To obtain correct engine
alignment, insert a feeler gauge between the coupling mating
faces and adjust engine position as required to place the
mating surfaces parallel to each other within .003' (.076mm).
This clearance must be maintained at all times and at all
positions of the coupling. To complete alignment turn the
shaft coupling 180* from the starting point after the engine
and shaft are aligned to within .003'. Test for proper
clearance. If out readjust the engine to proper clearance.
Retest by turning coupling 90' at a time and testing to insure
alignment at all points through the 360' circle.
The engine mounts are adjustable to permit raising or
lowering the engine and also moving the engine to the right
or left. It is recommended that, when the engine bed is
installed in the boat, it is positioned so that engine alignment
is as close as possible. After engine mounts have been
fastened to the engine bed, final alignment should be done
by adjusting the mounts as follows:
Front mounts are adjusted by loosening the upper lock nut
on the mount stud and trunion locking stud nuts and tapping
on the nuts to loosen the studs on the trunion The mount can
then be raised or lowered by screwing the lower nut up or
down in the desired direction and side to side by prying
against the block. CAUTION: Side to side adjustment must
be limited to a maximum 1-3/4: extension of the trunion
from the mount bracket. Extension of more can cause
bending of the trunion or possible mount failure.
Rear mount adjustment is made by loosening the stud lock
nut and turning the stud in the proper direction for vertical
adjustment and by loosening and tapping the nut on the lock
studs to free the rear trunions and adjust in the same manner
as the front for side to side adjustment. CAUTION: Be
certain to lock the lock nuts on the adjusting and lock studs
when adjustment is completed.
After alignment is complete lag and/or cross bolt mounts
securely to the stringers.
