Straight Bore Type:
a. Loosen setscrews.
b. Try to move coupling by hand. The bore of the
coupling should be a semi press fit to shaft.
c. Check shaft for wear. If worn, replacement of
shaft may be necessary.
d. If shaft is not worn, try another coupling.

Refer to appropriate Stern Drive Service Manual
and install drive unit.
b. If nut was loose, remove coupling and check
for damage to taper on shaft or in coupling.
Refer to appropriate Section 2 - “Removal and In-
stallation - Engine Installation/Alignment,” if en-
gine was removed.
c. Replace worn parts.
d. Always make sure key is not sticking out of
coupling.
e. Install coupling on shaft without the key.
f.
Mark the shaft (behind the coupling), then re-
move the coupling.
g. Now install the key and coupling. Make sure
coupling still lines up with the mark. This en-
sures that key is not oversize and holding the
tapers apart.
