Identify the fin motion assembly first–this is the core unit under the hull. The spline shaft connects directly to the drive plates (front and rear) via stainless steel screws. Look for the fin axles with red or blue anodized coatings; these indicate torque tolerance ranges (red: 45 Nm, blue: 35 Nm). Replace bent or corroded axles immediately–even minor deviations cause inefficiency and noise.
