Now I have finished the upgrade of the cone clutch using the upgrade kit mentioned above. Everything seems to be working fine. Totally the job took me ca 15hr. I had help from a mechanical workshop to make a recess in the top lid. The rest I did myself which normal tools and the instructions I got with the upgrade kit.
You can contact Gideon at saildrives@yahoo.com He is very helpful and willing to answer questions. Total cost for the upgrade was $580 for the upgrade kit and $40 for machining + new gearoil. Hopefully I do not need to think of the cone clutch again. Time will show. Edited by toholthe - 24 September 2019 at 08:40 |

Congratulations, assuming you have got your clearances correct, adjusted the throttle linkage as advised, vented your gear case and are using GL-4 not GL-5 oil you should not have to worry about your cone clutch again for many years to come.

Thaks StavrosNZ.
With the kit you get a go/no go gauge. You have to sand down
the top nut to the right tolerance is achieved. This is done by hand. It is a time-consuming
part of the upgrade, but not really difficult. I believe i got it right in the
end as the "green" gauge barely fitted after applying correct momentum on top nut. Edited by toholthe - 24 September 2019 at 16:01 |

Stephen, Toholthe - many thanks for one of the most useful series of posts on this forum; I'll get mine done before the next lapping is due but am fitting the vent sooner. The SD50 manual recommends replacing the entire clutch at 2000 hrs; I'm wondering if this upgrade obviates that, however?

Hi,
That is hard to say. If there is a lot of wear on the cone then only this part can be replaced I guess. There is a part on this in the instructions. My engine has 1400hr, but I had not significant wear. There is probably a lot of other “cover my a..” in the manual for the saildrive and engine you will never follow.

i just had my cone clutch replaced. I does not pay to relap. Mechanic did it in the water and I’d not have to remove motor. Cost $2,000.
