Hello,
I have a SEA RAY - (100 H.P. (1988 ))
Serial No: 0B333449 Model No: 9100412TD Catalog No: 17793
I found the blue print but its unclear how to install the three ball bearings and how to hold it the spring and cam followers as you install it, can anyone give me some clues as to how it goes back into the lower?

1st Post:)
 
Been a long time on my I/O but it should be the same as my current OB as Merc has used that system for years and years.

First off how it works. Riding on the prop shaft is a sliding gear faced on both ends called a clutch dog. The purpose is to connect to the rear of the F gear, sit between gears, or connect to the rear of the R gear. It is connected to the shaft for circular movement only (splined geared to the prop shaft), via a pin going through the center of it, through a glide block mentioned below, and through the prop shaft, held in place with a coil of flat wire which makes about 3 laps around the middle of the dog. It is connected, internal to the shaft to a positioning mechanism:

Looking from the front of the prop shaft to the rear:

1. Cam follower pin which engages slots on shifter cam (external to shaft) obvious point is sticking out to follow the shifter cam.
2. 3 spacer balls
3. Glide block which has a hole in it for the pin mentioned above to slide through; small diameter part toward #4 below
4. Compression spring.

Need more ask.

Mark,

I also found these when i pulled out the shaft and the cam follower pin dropped out. do i just drop them in again and sit the pin on top of them?

thanks
