NOTES
Section 2

2.1 Description
1. While most Twin Disc marine transmissions are
forward/reverse reduction units, some units provide
speed-increasing capability. All may be used with
standard (right-hand) rotation engines and certain
models may be modified to accommodate nonstandard
(left-hand) rotation engines. Contact your Twin Disc
distributor if you anticipate using nonstandard engines.
NOTE: Engine direction of rotation is determined by facing
the front of the engine (opposite engine flywheel). From this
viewpoint, clockwise crankshaft rotation is defined as right-
hand rotation.
2. All current Twin Disc marine transmissions can be

operated through either primary or secondary clutch at
full-rated horsepower for forward (ahead) propulsion
using standard right hand engines. Contact your
Twin Disc distributor for the rated horsepower if you
anticipate using nonstandard engines.
NOTE: The primary clutch has the shortest power path
through the transmission. The secondary shaft is driven in
opposite rotation by the primary shaft.
3. Transmission clutches are hydraulically applied using

regulated oil pressure. All bearings, clutches and gears
are lubricated and cooled with oil.
2-1
2.2 Construction Features
A. Oil Pump Drive

For most transmissions, the secondary clutch shaft drives the
oil pump.
B. Lubrication Features
The transmission case serves as the reservoir (sump) for all
oil used in the transmission. Bearings and clutches on the
primary and secondary shafts are lubricated and cooled through
passageways in the shafts. Output shaft bearings are gravity
and/or splash lubricated. Some transmissions use pressurized
oil spray to lubricate gears and bearings.
C. Suction Screen
All units have a suction strainer located between the sump
and oil pump in the hydraulic circuit. Its purpose is to prevent
debris from entering the inlet side of the pump. The suction
strainer must be cleaned as a part of every oil change. Consult
the illustrations found in Section 6.2 for the suction strainer
location on your unit.
D. Filter Assembly
Many units have an oil filter installed in the system. Some
units incorporate a spin-on filter. Other units use a cartridge
type filter plumbed into the hydraulic circuit between the
pump outlet and the transmission inlet port. Replace oil filter
as part of every oil change. Consult the illustrations found in
Section
6.2 for the filter location on your unit.
E. Control Valve
All transmissions utilize a control valve to deliver pressurised
oil to the clutches and lubrication circuit. It may be electrically
or mechanically actuated and may have an xxx.
F. Accessories
Heat Exchanger, Trolling Valve, Power Take Off, Trailing
Pump or monitoring group (See appendix section 6.1)
2.3 Specifications
All Twin Disc marine transmissions are equipped with an
identification plate. (See sample identification plate at the front
of this manual.) In addition to information identifying the unit
(i.e. model number, BOM number, ratio, serial number and
customer number), the identification plate provides information
on oil capacity, minimum cruise oil pressure and oil check/oil
change intervals for your particular transmission. All operators
of this equipment are responsible to read and apply the
information provided on the transmission identification plate.
2.4 Oil Recommendations
A. Oil Viscosity
See your unit’s lubrication data plate for type of oil and
viscosity recommendations. Transcribe the information from
your transmission’s lubrication data plate to the sample plate
found at the front of this manual for ease of reference.
B. Oil Pressure and Temperature
CAUTION
All units have provisions to install oil pressure and oil
temperature gauges. Oil pressure gauges are required for
all installations. By monitoring “main” oil pressure and
temperature, you detect problems before major damage to the
unit occurs.
Your unit’s identification plate specifies “minimum oil pressure

when cruising.” This specification is the “main” oil pressure
measured with the oil temperature in the normal operating
range and engine speed at approximately 2/3 throttle setting.
It is suggested that an alarm system be installed to notify
the operator in the event that the oil pressure falls below the
“minimum pressure when cruising” specification. The nominal
operating pressure range, the low pressure alarm setting,
and the engine shut-down alarm setting for each MG(X)
transmission is provided in Figure 5-1.
If you detect abnormal oil pressure:
1. Verify that the pressure reading is accurate. (Gauges
can fail or malfunction.)
2. If gauge is malfunctioning, determine that actual
operating pressure is within allowable range before
resulting operation.
3. If pressure reading is accurate and pressure is outside of
the allowable range, shut down the engine and correct
the problem. See troubleshooting procedures in Section
5 of this manual.
NOTE: If problem cannot be corrected and engine must be
shut down, see instructions for windmilling/backdriving and
towing in Section 3.7 of this manual.
If unit must be kept in operation to prevent injury to personnel

or damage to equipment, operate at lowest power possible until
unit can be safely shut down.
C. Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is required to maintain the oil temperature
in the hydraulic system within the recommended operating
range. Proper oil temperature is maintained by passing coolant
through the heat exchanger.
Some models, such as the MG(X)-5300 series and
MG(X)-6000 series transmissions, may have an integral
heat exchanger. On models with a remote mounted heat
exchanger, the heat exchanger should be installed in a location
convenient to coolant and marine transmission oil. See the
unit’s lubrication plate or the chart in Figure 5-2 for the
operating oil temperature.

electric, solenoid-operated valve. The general purpose (GP)
control valve coupled with the EC050 electronic control
module or EC300 electronic control module is used to
place the transmission in neutral, or to engage the primary
or secondary clutches in the cruise and troll modes of
operation. When either of the clutch engagement positions is
selected, the control valve directs high-pressure oil through
internal passages to the selected clutch to instantaneously
and smoothly engage the clutch. The pressure rate-of-rise,
which is controlled by the EC050 or EC300 control module,
provides a rapid and smooth clutch engagement. The control
monitors various input signals continuously, and controls
the transmission electrical valves accordingly, updating
transmission control signals to optimize vessel operation.
The EC050 control module has three LEDs that inform the
operator of control status:
In cruise mode, both the power LED and the energized
solenoid LED display green
In troll mode, the power LED displays green and the energized
solenoid LED displays red.
3-1
The LEDs also provide fault message information during
operation. Refer to Table MG(X) Series LED Chart in the
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
The EC050 or EC300 control module is available either as
a Profile Module or an Etroll Module. The Profile Module
provides cruise operation only.
CAUTION
Control Systems that fail to place a mechanical selector valve
in detented positions will damage or cause failure of the clutch
packs.
Manually holding the shift selector out of the detented position
will also damage or cause failure of the clutch packs.
CAUTION
Control systems for units equipped with electric solenoid
valves must not permit actuation of both forward and reverse
solenoids at the same time.
B. Safety
Whenever maintenance is performed on the marine
transmission or control valve, always make sure that the
transmission controls are free and are adjusted properly. Be
certain that the transmission range selected at the operator’s
station places the control valve in the fully detented position
for the selection made.
Operation
3.2 Prestart-up Checks

Prior to starting the engine, check the transmission as follows.
1. Check that there is oil in the transmission.
NOTE: This check will determine that there is oil in the
transmission but will not determine if oil level is correct. Oil
level check must be performed with engine operating at
low idle with transmission in neutral and oil temperature in
operating range. Refer to 3.3, step 3.
2. Check transmission for leaks, cracks and obvious

damage.
3. Check mountings for tightness or damage such as
cracks. Tighten loose mountings and replace damaged
parts.
4. Inspect heat exchanger oil and coolant lines and hoses
for leaky connections, kinks, cracks and other damage.
Replace damaged lines and/or hoses.
5. Check pressure and temperature gauges where
applicable.
6. Inspect driveline and input and output shaft oil seals for
signs of leakage. Replace parts as required.
7. Inspect unit identification plate and lubrication plate for
looseness and corrosion. Tighten mounting screws that
are loose and replace corroded plates.
NOTE: If you need to replace an identification or lubrication
plate, make sure all pertinent information is transferred to
the new plate. Failure to do so could result in the loss of
important information necessary to obtain parts and service.
3-3
3.3 Startup
1. Place the transmission control in NEUTRAL.
2. As soon as engine starts, check the transmission oil
pressure (oil pressure gauges are required for all
installations). Pressure should register within 15
seconds. If no pressure is indicated, stop the engine and
determine the cause.
3. Check the oil level as follows.
a. Fill the transmission to LOW mark on the dipstick.
Run the engine at idle until oil temperature reaches
operating range.
b. Continue running at idle and check the oil level with
the oil level gauge (dipstick). The level should be at
the FULL mark on the gauge. Add or remove oil as
necessary to bring the level to the FULL mark on the
gauge.
c. Allow the oil to cool to ambient temperature
(perhaps overnight). Start the engine and check the
oil level while cold at low idle engine speed with
the engine in neutral. Make a note of this adjusted
cold oil FULL level for future reference. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
3.4 Normal Operation

1. For maximum service life, make all shifts from
NEUTRAL into either FORWARD or REVERSE with
engine running at low idle.
2. When a shift range is selected, assure that the control
lever is in the fully detented position for the range
selected.
3. Monitor transmission oil pressure and temperature. See
oil pressure information on identification plate and oil
temperature information on lubrication plate.
NOTE: Sustained operation of the marine transmission with
oil temperature outside of normal operating range is not
recommended.
4. Shifting Limits
For all shifts (NEUTRAL into FORWARD or
REVERSE, and FORWARD or REVERSE through
NEUTRAL into the opposite direction) limit
engagement to a maximum of 1000 RPM or 50% of
engine speed which ever is lower. Limits for surface
drive or dynamic positioning applications may vary.
Please contact Twin Disc regarding limits for these
applications.
NOTE: The recommended engine rpms pertain to normal
operation only. In an emergency, the owner/operator is
expected to employ whatever procedures are necessary to
prevent loss of life and reduce damage to property.
Forward – Neutral – Reverse
To allow disengagement, forward and reverse propulsion.
Most engines require a reverse reduction transmission because

they rotate counter clock wise (right hand rotation).
Modern marine transmissions have equal ratios and equal

rating capacities through primary and secondary shafts.
Propellers turn OUTBOARD for forward propulsion.
Port Side Transmission
Secondary Shaft Clutch = FORWARD
Starboard Side Transmission

Primary Shaft Clutch = FORWARD
Propellers turn INBOARD for forward propulsion

Port Side Transmission

3.5 Operation in Dirty or Debris-filled Waters
Operation in waters that contain debris such as logs, ropes, or
cables must be done cautiously. Throttle the engine back to
near idle to prevent damage to the propellers, drivelines, and
transmissions.
WARNING
Getting a rope (or similar object) caught in the propeller, or
“propeller strikes” can cause serious damage to the Marine
Transmission. If the vessel gets a rope (or similar object)
caught in the propeller, or the propeller strikes an object, the
engine should be shut down and a visual inspection of the
Marine Transmission should be conducted. If in doubt, the
transmission should not be operated. Follow the towing or
back-driving procedures outlined in the manual to reach port.
Continued operation of the transmission after getting a rope
(or similar object) caught in the propeller, or a severe propeller
strike may cause further damage to the transmission and place
the safety of vessel and crew in jeopardy.
3.6 Operation with Optional Trolling Valve
A. General
Trolling valves are available as optional equipment for most
Model MG-XXXX Twin Disc marine transmissions. An
ETROLL control module is available for Model MG(X)-
XXXX Twin Disc marine transmissions. The trolling valve
allows reducing and controlling propeller speed below that
normally attained when operating the engine at low idle.
Examples of operations requiring such slow speeds are trolling
or movement through “no wake” restricted areas.
Most trolling valves can be used with the selector valve in
either the forward or reverse position. Actuating the trolling
valve reduces applied clutch pressure, which allows the clutch
to slip and reduce propeller speed.
B. Operating Limits
Trolling is a vessel movement in a specific direction and
therefore limits are only required for maximum engine speed
with a single clutch engaged. For all marine transmission
models, limit trolling to a maximum of 1000 RPM or 50% of
engine speed which ever is lower. Limits for surface drive or
dynamic positioning applications may vary. Please contact
Twin Disc regarding limits for these applications.
NOTE: Additional cooling may be required for applications
involving surface piercing propellers. Twin Disc should
be contacted for all inquiries involving this application.
Trolling valve performance may be affected by operating oil
temperature. Additional cooling is not required when in the
trolling mode but trolling valve performance can be affected
by operating oil temperature. In some cases a thermostatic
bypass valve is recommended to maintain operating oil
temperature at desired level.
C. Normal Operation – Trolling Mode

The following is the normal procedure for engaging and
operating a marine transmission when trolling mode is to be
used.
1. Shift transmission selector to NEUTRAL.
2. Reduce engine rpm to low idle.
3. Move trolling valve control lever out of detented NO
TROLL position to MAXIMUM TROLL (slowest
vessel speed) position.
4. Move transmission selector lever to desired direction of
travel.
5. Adjust trolling valve lever setting (and if necessary,
engine rpm) up to specified limit to attain desired vessel
speed.
CAUTION
Do not exceed specified maximum engine speed while operating
in TROLL mode. To do so will result in excessive clutch heat
buildup and possible clutch failure.
WARNING
Set the trolling valve in the detented NO TROLL position
when docking the vessel or when operating in congested
areas.
Failure to do so could result in sluggish response to power
changes or shift reversals and loss of necessary control of
vessel speed and direction of travel.
NOTE: Do not attempt to use a marine transmission

equipped with a trolling valve as a “power dividing” device.
Attempts to use a trolling valve equipped transmission for
such a purpose at engine speeds above the limits specified
will result in clutch failures.
6. To return to NO TROLL operation:

a. Set the engine speed to IDLE.
NOTE: Moving the trolling valve control lever to the NO
TROLL position while engine speed is at the high limit for
trolling operations will cause an abrupt change in propeller
(and vessel) speed. Reducing engine speed to idle before
selecting NO TROLL will result in a smoother transition to
NO TROLL operation.
b. Move the trolling valve control lever to the detented

NO TROLL position.
c. Resume normal no troll operation.
WARNING
Make sure that the trolling valve cable control system is
adjusted properly. The trolling valve control lever on the
transmission must be in the detented NO TROLL position when
the control at the operator’s station is moved into the NO
TROLL position. Failure to do so could result in inadequate
response to power and/or direction changes, endangering
personnel and equipment.
3.7 Windmilling, Backdriving, and Towing

Backdriving occurs when an engine is shut down and the
propeller shaft is being driven by the flow of water across
the propeller. This is sometimes referred to as windmilling.
The propeller shaft is rotating components in the marine
transmission. Locking the propeller shaft in place will prevent
backdriving.
Situations where backdriving may occur:
• Vessel being towed for any reason.
• Multiple-transmission vessel with one or more engines shut
down while under way.
• Sailboat under way with auxiliary engine shut down.
• Vessel tied up or docked in heavy current.
Most current Twin Disc production marine transmissions (with
the exceptions that follow) can be backdriven in the situations
listed. Vessel speed under all towing or backdriving conditions
must not exceed the normal propulsion speed of the vessel.
The following backdriving (towing) options are applicable
to most transmissions. For some transmissions, only the
instructions in B and C are applicable.
You need to employ only one of the following methods.
WARNING
Do not exceed normal vessel speed during backdriving. If oil
sump temperature exceeds 100oC, damage will occur to internal
components. If oil temperature increases to 100oC, reduce
temperature either by reducing backdriving speed, or supplying
additional cooling with water flow or by idling the engine.
a. Start the engine and operate the marine transmission

in neutral at normal fluid pressures for five minutes,
doing this once every eight hours. Maintain the
backdriven marine transmission’s oil level at the
FULL mark on the dipstick.
b. Lock the propeller shaft to prevent rotation.
c. Add a trailing pump to the lube circuit. See the
hydraulic system prints for more details on auxiliary
pump specifications for the applicable transmission
or contact your Twin Disc distributor.
d. In the case of an inoperable engine, or pump failure,
where pressure lubrication of the transmission is not
possible; plug the dipstick tube and completely fill
the transmission with oil. Prior to backdriving or
towing, drain the oil down to FULL oil level. Repeat
this process every eight hours.
3.8 Emergency Operation
A. Mechanical Stop on Failed Torsional Coupling
CAUTION
Limit operation to 50 percent of maximum engine speed or a
maximum of 1000 rpm, whichever is lower, to avoid additional
costly damage to transmission internal components.
Many torsional couplings used with Twin Disc transmissions

have mechanical stops to allow power to be transmitted to the
transmission in the event of a coupling failure. Continued
operation at high power levels could result in costly damage
to the transmission internal components. In the event of a
torsional coupling failure, return to a safe harbor immediately
to initiate repair or replacement of the failed coupling.
B. Electric Selector Manual Override

If, for transmission fitted with electric selector, an
electrical power interruption occurs, the electric
selector can be overridden. Manual override is
accomplished differently depending on the type of
solenoid. There are two methods: Solenoid with built-in
manual override, or the manual override plug.
Method 1: Solenoid with Built-in Manual Override
Solenoids that have a built-in manual override can
be identified by a round nut with two flats cut into
it. Removing the round nut exposes a knurled knob.
Pushing and turning the knob counterclockwise
activates the manual override.
When the solenoid is manually overridden, that clutch
will be engaged any time the engine is running.
Returning the knurled knob to its previous position
restores electric control.
WARNING
Once the solenoid is manually overridden, the transmission
cannot be shifted to neutral, or into the opposite gear.
Shut down the engine and place the vessel under tow before
entering any congested area or dock area.
Failure to do so will endanger the safety of the crew and vessel

as well as other people and vessels in the area.
Method 2: Manual Override Plug
When solenoids do not have a built-in manual override feature,
a manual override plug is available. To override the solenoids
at the time of an electrical power interruption, the appropriate
solenoid must be removed and replaced with the override plug.
When the solenoid is manually overridden, that clutch will be
engaged any time the engine is running.
C. Installation of Override Plug

1. Stop the engine.
WARNING
Once the override plug is installed, the transmission cannot be
shifted to neutral, or into the opposite gear.
Shut down the engine and place the vessel under tow before
entering any congested area or dock area.
Failure to do so will endanger the safety of the crew and vessel

as well as other people and vessels in the area.
2. Locate and remove the stored manual override plug

from the selector valve body for use in step 4.
Note: The location of the stored plug varies on different
models.
3. Determine which clutch should be engaged (primary or
secondary clutch) and remove the appropriate solenoid.
4. Install the override plug in place of the removed
solenoid.
CAUTION
The selected clutch is engaged whenever the engine is running.
If the vessel is going in the wrong direction, stop the engine and
remove the override plug. Reinstall the removed solenoid, then
repeat the above procedure with the opposite solenoid.
5. Store the removed solenoid where the override plug
was stored until repairs are performed.

Maintenance
Section 4
Maintenance
4.1 General Maintenance
NOTE: A chart is provided in the front of the manual to
record the dates/hours that maintenance procedures are
performed.
A. Oil Level Check

Check oil level daily or every 10 hours of engine operation.
Check with engine running at low idle and with marine
transmission in neutral. Check the oil level with the
transmission oil temperature in normal operating range. See
Section 3.3, Start-Up.
B. Lubrication
If your unit is equipped with a lubrication fitting, grease the
oil seals at the output end of the transmission output shaft
through the lubrication fitting with water pump grease. See the
illustrations in Section 6.2 for location of the lubrication fitting.
Apply grease approximately every 100 hours when boat is
docked. No other lubrication is required.
NOTE: Preferred grease is one with lithium soap, NLGI
consistency #2 for component temperatures above 20° C
(68° F).
4-1
C. Filter and Oil Change Interval
With a new transmission, change the oil and filter element
within first 50 hours of operation. Change oil and filter element
after each 1000 hours of operation, or six months, whichever
comes first. Change the oil more frequently if conditions
warrant.
For a rebuilt transmission, check the suction screen and filter
element after eight hours of operation. Look for lint or other
material that may collect from rags or towels used in the parts
cleaning process. Look for chips or shavings particularly if
the transmission has had a problem that caused debris in the
system. (For units with spin-on filters, this will require cutting
the filter element apart to access the element core.) If the filter
is clean, install a new filter element and then change the oil and
filter element after 1000 hours of service. If the filter is dirty,
change the element and operate for another eight hours. Check
the filter again. Continue this cycle until the filter is clean and
then change the oil and filter after 1000 hours of service, or
more often if conditions warrant.
NOTE: Situations involving debris in the hydraulic system will
require that heat exchangers and all connecting lines and
hoses be thoroughly cleaned. If the heat exchanger cannot
be disassembled, or if it cannot be assured that all debris is
removed, the heat exchanger should be replaced.
Draining
Drain the transmission by removing the oil drain plug
from the rear/bottom of the transmission. See the
illustrations in Section
6.2or service literature for your transmission for location
of transmission and filter drain plugs.
NOTE: Dispose of used oil and oil filters in accordance with
federal, state or local laws. Exercise precautions to prevent
environmental contamination during any transmission
servicing procedure.
Maintenance
Filling
1. Remove the breather or the oil fill closure from the top
of transmission case.
2. Pour new oil through breather or closure opening.
Fill with recommended clean oil, taking necessary
precautions to prevent entry of dirt or debris. (See
lubrication plate on transmission and information
transcribed to the front of this manual for additional oil
information.)
D. Oil Capacity
See the transmission lubrication plate. Capacity given will
be the internal quantity required to fill the transmission to
its proper level, but may not include the quantity to fill the
external hoses and heat exchanger. Check oil level per Section
3.3, Start-Up.
E. Heat Exchanger Check

Heat exchangers furnished by Twin Disc to be used for
salt water applications have anodes installed at the inlet
and outlet heads. Check these anodes every 30 to 90 days,
depending on factors such as coolant conditions, pH factor, and
salinity. If over one half of the rod is disintegrated, replace
it to assure effective protection. Excessive corrosion of the
anode indicates electrolytic action. Make a careful inspection
to determine if this action is caused by a short circuit or an
external grounded electric current. If either of these conditions
is found, do what is required to correct it to avoid frequent
replacement of the anodes. If these conditions do not exist, it
is evident that the corrosion is due to local electrolysis. If the
anodes are corroded with foreign material, use a wire brush to
clean them.
4-3
F. Suction Strainer
Remove and clean the suction strainer at every oil change or
sooner if necessary. See illustrations in Section 6.2 for the
location of the suction strainer for your transmission.
G. Flexible Input Coupling

Do not obstruct the flywheel housing vents, which will
prevent the free flow of air for cooling the coupling. Life of
the coupling may be reduced if the ambient temperature of
the air around the coupling is outside the operating range.
Operating air temperatures above -6°C (22°F) and below 82°C
(180°F) must be maintained. If possible, visually inspect
the coupling after the first 100 hours of operation, and every
2000 hours thereafter, or every six months, whichever comes
first. Torsional vibration, misalignment, degradation by
contaminants (oil), heat, ultraviolet radiation, and excessive
system torque can cause cracks or other signs of distress
to appear on the surface of the rubber. These conditions
affect the life of the coupling element. If coupling access is
restricted, inspection may be possible only at engine overhaul
or whenever the transmission is separated from the engine.
On such units, frequently check the flywheel housing vents.
An accumulation of residue at the vents is an indication of
coupling deterioration, which can occur from a variety of
causes. If an accumulation of residue is found, inspect to
determine the cause.
H. Bearing Inspection and Replacement

At the engine overhaul interval, or more frequently, inspect all
transmission bearings and replace as necessary.
I. Overhaul Interval
Overhaul the transmission at the same time the engine is
overhauled.
4.2 Storage Maintenance Procedures
It is sometimes necessary to store Twin Disc transmissions
or boats equipped with Twin Disc components. In order
to prevent corrosion damage, the following procedures are
recommended:
A. Short Term Storage (Less than One Year)

Transmission installed in a boat on an engine that can be run
(boat is in the water).
1. To the extent possible, store boat in a location that
minimizes exposure to the elements.
2. Prior to storage, drain the oil and refill to FULL level
on the dipstick with recommended new oil. Install a
new filter, if applicable. After changing the oil and
filter,
run the engine long enough to bring the oil to operating
temperature. Operate the transmission in all ranges.
Shut the engine down.
3. Use only recommended oils to maintain proper levels.
Do not use preservative-type oils.
4. Every three months, check the oil level and availability
of coolant. Start the engine and run at approximately
1000 rpm to bring the oil temperature up to normal
operating range, running the engine at least five
minutes. When the transmission oil reaches the normal
operating temperature range, set the engine speed to the
shift speed range for your transmission and shift into
each range. Shut the engine down.
5. Drain and refill with recommended oil and change
filters, if applicable, prior to returning unit to
regular service.
6. Before returning the transmission to service, check the
condition of the anodes in the heat exchanger according
to Section 4.1.E.
B. Long Term Storage (More than One Year)
Transmission installed in a boat where the engine cannot be run
(boat is out of the water).
1. Use standard recommended oil for the following
procedures:
a. Once each year, remove dipstick and plug
dipstick tube.
b. Completely fill the transmission with oil.
c. Rotate the output shaft at least five revolutions.
d. Partially drain oil, reinstall dipstick, and then drain
the oil down to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
2. Seal breather, dipstick tube and all other openings
with waterproof tape.
3. Grease exposed members that are subject to corrosion.
4. Every three months rotate output shaft four or five
revolutions.
5. Tag transmission to show date it was placed in storage
and current status relating to storage procedure.
6. To remove from storage and place in regular service:
a. Remove waterproof tape from breather, dipstick
tube and all openings.
b. Drain oil and remove oil filter.
c. Install new oil filter and fill transmission with new
recommended oil to FULL mark on dipstick.
d. Replace anodes in heat exchanger.
C. Heat Exchanger Storage
When storing a heat exchanger, oil and water ports must be
kept sealed. Heat exchangers stored during cold weather must
have the water chamber drained to prevent freezing. Take
precautions to prevent damage from freezing and corrosion.

5.1 Troubleshooting Tables
The following charts are intended as a guide for determining
the cause of problems that could be encountered and the
corrective actions for those difficulties.
The transmission is one part of a complete propulsion system.
Problems before the transmission (in the engine) or after
the transmission (in the output shaft or propeller) can cause
problems to develop in the transmission. It is important that
the entire propulsion system be considered when transmission
problems are encountered.

apply) oil pressure. Scales are calibrated in kilopascal
and pound-force-per-square-inch ranges. The use of oil
pressure gauges is required for all installations.
3. Output Shaft Companion Flanges – Used to connect
the transmission output flange with the vessel
propeller shaft and possible shaft break.
4. Hub to Fit Flexible Input Couplings – Provides the
connection between the engine-driven coupling and the
transmission input shaft.
5. Trolling Valves – Used to reduce propeller speed below
what can be obtained by operating the engine at low
idle (e.g. trolling operations and operating in no-wake
areas).
