Is it difficult to install a new clutch dog?

@dpetersontube if your familiar with your outboard lower unit it will be a breeze. Otherwise take pictures, place it down orderly or whatever it takes to remember how to put it together. Goodluck!

@@yellamamba4554 drain LU oil, remove prop, 5 bolts hold LU in place, but to get prop shaft out I will need to remove the shift lever rod in front of the water pump assembly - correct? If so, does that come out fairly easily? And should it be in gear or in neutral? Thanks.

Dangar marine channel has a good one on this

So reverse is opposite?

False. The dog gets locked in when switched to gear and won't move either way

the gear cables get stretched out over time and occasionally need minor adjustments to engage fully in forward and reverse

@@dpetersontube ok I tried it didn’t work I’ve been told that my lower units gears are shot so I’m just gonna have to buy a new motor thank you for your help

@@daxpack3251 Probably your dog clutch and forward gear be cheaper to replace them or even get a new lower unit than buying a whole motor

@@daxpack3251 Also put a score on your prop and prop nut check for slipping there

@@connorcornell2933 I could but this motor has also been nothing but trouble so I thing it would probably just be better

I bet that was it - one little screw loose. Unfortunately this was a while ago and I sent mine back to DJI for complete repair whiich was not cheap. Thanks for the reply though. I still own same model so it's good to know this info. Cheers.

@@dpetersontube You get knowledge with practice, has happened to me. Yes DJI repairs were also expensive for me but thank God no more sending units to them.

return to dji for repair - 78 bucks

I ended up taking it apart, fixed the issue. Roll/Yaw motor crank mechanism was misaligned. 10min fix

+Jason Carey I did fix this WITHOUT tearing things apart. Sorry it took so long to respond - I hope you didn't tear apart yet. What I discovered was that the steering column was gunked with dried up grease in the upper portion and pumping grease into the zirk fitting on the starboard side only allowed grease to escape through the bottom of the column. The grease clog was at the top. So I got brave and thought a solution might be to add another zirk fitting to the steering column on the port side of the engine and higher up than the other fittings. I actually drilled a small hole and screwed in a new zirk fitting. Then I pumped grease into this one and low and behold it penetrated through the dried up grease at the top! I had to work through it a lot with pumping and turning several times - but it worked! I solved this problem that would have cost a lot of money at a shop. I paid $1.50 for a new fitting and then the cost of grease. Hope that helps. If anyone needs to see exactly what I did I will post a video.

@@dpetersontube Just wondering where and how far down from the top of the tube did you drill a new hole for a grease fitting. I have a Df140 and I'm having the exact problem, I want to drill a hole like you did but don't wat to hit the bushing and make things worse.

@@MrQubanito I tried to drill the hole on the somewhat flattened surface of the steering column fairly high up - just slightly above the top zirk fitting on the other side. I can take a photo if you'd like. it was a good fix and has lasted over 2 years now without fail.

@@SurvivorDiet I kind of was thinking that would be a good spot, about 2 or 3 inches below the top on that flat spot. A picture would be awesome and much appreciated. I'm going to try and pump some penetrating oil through the fitting I have now with a grease gun, and see if that helps. I have it working much smoother than when I started so I'm making progress.

@@SurvivorDiet I would also like a picture of this. As I am having the same issue with a dt150. Thanks
