Video Instructions - Nozzle Removal

Linkage Disconnects

1. Remove the nut and bolt securing the steering cable end to the tiller arm.  If servicing Model 12JF, remove the steering cable from the side of the gimbal ring.
2. Slide the plastic collar back on the steering cable.  Back off the packing nut from the threaded steering tube, and then pry the grommet free.  Pull the steering cable back into the boat through the transom adaptor.  Some models do not have the transom adaptor, but it is still necessary to pull the cable back into the boat.
3. Slide the top of the safety clip free of the reverse cable.
4. Remove the safety clip from the hole in the lower bolt, as shown.
5. Withdraw the bolt from the reverse cable end.
6. Pull the reverse cable up and clear of the reverse gate swivel pin.
7. Remove the swivel pin and two split nyliner bushings from the reverse gate arm.
8. Loosen and remove the lower jam nut around the steering cable on the tiller arm.  If only the lower jam nut on the reverse cable is disturbed, the cable adjustment will be maintained.  This is an advantage during later installation.
9. Loosen the reverse cable packing nut at the transom adaptor (or boat transom, if an adaptor is not used), and pry the grommet free.

Rudder Removal (If equipped)

1. Straighten the ends of the cotter pin, and then pull out the pin.  Remove the castellated nut and the rudder bolt.
2. Remove the Allen head bolt from the rudder shaft.
3. Pull the rudder downward and free of the nozzle.
