Reinstalling Rear Thruster - R29

[dante3756]

Thanks to Tugnuts, I've successfully replaced the rear thruster sheer pin on Snug. But I'm left with the issue of reinstalling the thruster. I could use some tips on how to properly align and reinstall the thruster. Seems like a daunting task, but I know many of you have done it successfully.

You just need to make sure the pin and the groove it goes in are pointing the same way . I put them both up and down. Then you just mate the two, you can tell its in as the motor goes tight to the thruster. Then it just a matter of holding the motor tight while you get the bolts started. Make sure you clean out any bits of broken pin first. Good luck it is an awkward job. My washdown pump is in the way so I unscrew it and move it out of the way to help . Be patient and it goes pretty good
