    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

GS850G torque setting for drive shaft re-attachment

Hi guys! I am new here so I hope I am posting in the right place.

My question is: what is the torque setting for re-attaching the shaft drive to the engine (the four bolts under the rubber booth) ... I have looked in many manuals and I am not able to find any information about it. Any info will be much appreciated. Thank you, JT​
 
Please don't cross post on this board. Ask once, and wait for a response.
 
Answer: 18-21 ft-lbs for propeller shaft bolts ... was answered by Nessism in a different thread ... thank you Ed/Nessism
 
To get proper torque on those nuts: put the torque wrench on the nut, tighten until it squeaks, then put a 8-foot pipe on the end and jump on it until one of 2 things happens. 1) the bolt shears off, or 2) the whole rig falls over with a loud clatter, causing lots of damage to the paintwork and other stuff. Let us know how it works out for you.
