Selecting the forward gear shim
1. Turn the taper roller bearing outer race 1
2 or 3 times to seat the rollers, and then
measure the bearing height (M5) and
(M6) as shown.

NOTE:
9 Select the shim thickness (T2) by using the
specified measurement(s) and the calcula-
tion formula.
9 Measure the forward gear at 4 points to find
the height average.
9 Make of note the each measurement
numerical.

Shimming (counter rotation model)
2. Calculate the forward gear shim thick-
ness (T2) as shown in the examples
below.
NOTE:
"R" is the deviation of the lower case dimen-
sion from standard, and "A" is the deviation of
the propeller shaft housing from standard.
The "R" mark a is stamped on the trim tab
mounting surface of the lower case, and the
"A" mark b is stamped on the propeller shaft
housing in 0.01 mm units. If the "R" mark or
"A" mark is unreadable, assume that "R" and
"A" are zero and check the backlash when
the unit is assembled.
Calculation formula:
Forward gear shim thickness (T2) =
6.50 + R/100 – A/100 – M5 + M6
Example:
If "M5" is 21.95 mm and "M6" is 16.78 mm
and "R" is (– 1) and "A" is (– 3), then
T2 = 6.50 + (– 1)/100 – (– 3)/100
– 21.95 + 16.78 mm
= 6.50 – 0.01 + 0.03 – 21.95 + 16.78 mm
= 1.35 mm
