■ GEARBOX PRESSURE
It is possible that pressure has built up in the gear box
during shipping.
Once the unit is in sailing position, relieve pressure by
using a 6mm allen wrench to open the filler valve on
top of the lower unit.
Install the cap so it is wrist tight (20 foot pounds).

CAUTION!: To prevent damage to the stay adjuster,
make sure the torque tube is secured to foils and
lower unit before moving unit.
■ RAISE FURLING UNIT ON MAST
TIP: Cover unit with terry cloth & padding to protect
stainless finish.
If the unit will sit for a long time, make sure the port side of
the lower unit is facing up.
TIP: The sideplate with the winch handle socket will be
facing down.
Once you have closed the stay adjuster to confirm there
is clearance above the foils, open the adjuster all the way.
Turn the stay adjuster counter-clockwise to open the adjuster
completely. This makes it easier to connect the stay to the boat.
