"Now we have got her taken apart we have got the lower middle body. Yes, that's what it is called. The lower middle body here. Now. There is nothing actually holding it on so in order to get inside and not have pieces go everywhere. What you want to do is put your hand here and invert it and lift this part out. And there we go. And you should with minimal disturbance be inside of the lower middle body. What you?re going to find here is the turbine assembly and the gear box. Now the biggest thing that your going to want to know is that the gear box this is exactly what it is supposed to look like. A lot of tomes people come in to the shop and say, hay this is all broken. No you do want it to be notched like this. There is also a nylon washer here, that's we put aside actually. Alright to see if the gear box is working properly actually what you do can do is. You blow on it. That's actually a very good sound. You want to make sure that this is slowly turning. You put your fingers here and feel it moving. This is actually where the programming comes in to play. It is not electric programming it's gear ratio and let me tell you that's what you want when it's in the water. The other thing is the turbine this spins and makes it go. On inspection you just want to make sure that when you put the bearing in it spins no grinding or stopping. The bearing shield is in food place and the the bearings are all there. And this part here honestly almost never breaks. If it is in one piece and there's no chips out of it. It's good."
