Too much grease on the top of the drive shaft ? ? ? This can fill the space above the shaft and put excessive pressure on the pinion gear. . . 😕
Necks – here is the RD-19 case I opened up a few months ago as I received it.
oh – I also used the prop shaft as a hammer – nitwit thing to do, I know . . . .
it mushroomed the end out just enough so that when all the bolts were
installed, it pinched the shaft just enough to the point it would not turn [at all].
so in the process of eliminating the simple things, check the prop shaft for
any kind of deformity.
I thought it would have been much, much harder than it actually is !!!
now I understand how easy it is to bend a shaft when the prop hits something.[Note to self: use the correct tool for the job].

make sure the end of the prop shaft is true and turns free and not binding……..
if it is deformed the least bit – it could possibly cause mating issues.and don’t use it to pound out a bearing just because it fits !!!!

if you have the leg upside down, as pictured, look at the bottom half
of the clam shell – – – you will see that there is a spot for the retainer nub that sticks up.
the spring clip eyes should also be vertical – centered up.
if you don’t have the specific parts book that shows proper orientaion of all the parts,
it is available on Marine Engine.
