An easy one, TRS hinge pin torque?
 
I found a post here stating 60 ft/lbs for the hinge pin torque on a TRS? I recall 150? I'm putting the loctite on as you read this....please advise....

This is a page from the 74-77 mercruiser manual #2 for engines and drives...... section 8
I would assume its the samefor all the TRS drives but maybe someone would now better but yes it shows 60ft/lbs for hinge pins
Sorry if its not rotated properly...i tried to save it rotated but i dont think it wants to stay that way :)

I replied to your PM, but it looks like it did't go through.

60ftlbs seems reasonable for that thread size. 150lbs is pretty steep.

Merc Service manual #5 is around in pdf form. Merc had them downloadable for a while.
