Description
Function and Technical Context
The 09160-26015 pinion washer acts as a spacer and axial support in the transmission pinion assembly, ensuring proper positioning and clearance between the rotating components of the drive train. Measuring 26.2 x 42 x 4.0 mm, this washer operates within the outboard motor’s transmission system, absorbing the axial forces generated during torque transfer between the motor and the propeller. Its integrity is crucial for maintaining precise pinion alignment, preventing direct metal-to-metal contact between adjacent parts, and ensuring efficient power transmission without abnormal vibrations. Wear or breakage of this part can lead to excessive play in the pinion, noise in the transmission housing, loss of propulsion performance, and even progressive damage to the bevel gears in the bevel gear set.
When should this part be replaced?
The most common signs of wear on a pinion washer include metallic noise or rattling coming from the transmission housing under load, unusual vibration in the propeller shaft, and noticeable play when moving the pinion axially during inspection. It is recommended to inspect this washer during every transmission housing service or when the bevel gear set is removed for any maintenance work, especially on engines with many hours of operation in high-demand areas. Replacing it as a preventive measure when the transmission is removed prevents costly breakdowns at sea and extends the service life of the gear set.
