i have a thrust leopard 4074 on its way and a thrust bearing also, just wondering if someone has a pic of how to mount it properly.
thanks

Should look like this if done right. Since there is no significant loading on the install method we use for FE boating you do not have to preload the bearing as recomended by bearing manufacturers. Here is some decent info from SKF on thrust bearing loading. http://www.skf.com/files/151318.pdf
