Please help us set the gear indexing marks on a MERCRUISER BRAVO 3 outdrive.?

Question

I have been told the plus and minus marks, located at the gears inside the rear cover must be set a certain way, for the unit to ooperate properly, but I don't know the procedure.

Will you please advise the correct procedure for allignment of these + and - marks ?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

The scribe marks on the clutch gears are to be lined up with the index marks on the gear housing.do not line up two marks the same. line up with plus on the top and minus mark on the bottom, or the minus mark on the top and the plus mark on the bottom.recheck timing mark alignment after pinion gear has been installed.
