560 Stern Drive Description
The Konrad 560 Twin Prop System is engineered
to reduce stress on the gears using dual propeller
technology, providing a reliable, durable stern drive
unit. With counter rotating propellers, the 560 reduces
propeller roll, which increases efciency and control.
The Konrad 560 stern drive features two, one
piece propeller shafts that accommodate two
stainless steel propellers. The specially designed
propellers have one blade conguration: 3 blades
on the forward prop and 4 blades on the rear
prop. The propeller pitches are manipulated on
each application to meet the performance criteria.

Stern Drive
Safety Notices
General Information
The Konrad 500 Series stern drives are designed
to accommodate engines that generate up to 738 lb.
ft. (1000 Nm) of torque.
There is a sixteen degree (16°) trim range to
optimize vessel performance while underway.
There is an additional 30 degrees (30°) of lift range
that may only be used in an emergency or when the
stern drive is being serviced or transported.
The Konrad 500 Series stern drives are
designed for applications where the vessel transom
angle is 14 degrees (14°). Applications that do not
meet this criteria may require extra equipment or
modications, or may not be possible at all. The
Konrad 520 stern drive is designed to accommodate
propellers (aluminum and stainless steel) with
a maximum diameter of 20 in (50.8 cm). The
Konrad 540 and 560 can accommodate propellers
(aluminum and stainless steel) with a maximum
diameter of 16 in. (40.6 cm).
Read and understand all of the safety precautions and warnings before performing any installation or repair.
This list contains the general safety precautions
and warnings that MUST be followed to provide
personal safety. This list is only a suggested safety
guideline. Working conditions vary greatly and
safety measures will vary upon your individual circumstances.
ALWAYS USE CAUTION. Make sure the
work area surrounding the product is safe. Be
aware of hazardous conditions that can exist.
ALWAYS wear protective eyewear and
protective footwear when working.
DO NOT wear loose-tting or torn clothing.
Remove all jewelry when working.
DO NOT work on anything that is supported
only by lifting jacks or a hoist.
General Operation
The engine produces power (clockwise or
counterclockwise) that is transmitted through a
reversing transmission. A coaxial planetary-style
reversing transmission is normally used in recreational applications. A twin shaft vertically offset
standard reversing transmission (with coaxial additions available) is normally used in commercial
applications. From this point the transmission is
connected via close couple or drive shaft (different
shafts are discussed in detail in Step 6 on pages 29
- 32 in this manual). The power is then transmitted
through a series of shafts and gears and then to the
propeller(s).
ALWAYS use blocks or proper stands to
support the product before performing any
service work.
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, use
a hoist or get assistance when lifting stern
drive components. Make sure all lifting devices such as chains, hooks or slings are in
good condition and are of the correct lifting
capacity.

Torque Specications for Selected Fasteners
Listed below are the torque specifications for selected fasteners. Additional torque specifications are listed
throughout this manual.
according to guidelines detailed in diagrams
10-410 (Figures A and B on pages 9 and 10
in this manual). The height of the propeller
is critical to a successful application. If the
propeller centerline is too low, excessive
drag can occur based on transom assembly
location. Intermediate spacers are available
for special concerns.
2) Ensure that the water ow to the propeller
is clear and consistent without interruptions.
Protrusions on the hull surface create a negative pressure area and induce turbulence.
Turbulence can cause severe propeller inef-
ciency and excessive torsional vibration.
Common problems are:
• Water pickup
• Sonar transducers
• Retrotted surfaces which are not
properly faired or smoothed
• Any hull shape which does not
provide smooth transition
• In heavy applications, the bow can
produce turbulence if the attitude
of the vessel is weighted forward.
• Improper listing of the vessel due
to weight distribution
3) Ensure that the vessel center of gravity is
properly placed. Excessive weight forward
or aft can signicantly affect performance
and the efciency of the propeller.
4) Ensure that the stern drive is trimmed to
the correct level. While undertrimming can
cause premature u-joint wear, overtrimming
can cause propeller inefciency, porpoising,
and premature gear wear.

Step 1: Transom Cutout
1.1 Scribe an arc from points A and B to the bottom center of
the transom exterior. Scribe an arc from points C and D to
the top center of the transom exterior. Where the previous
mentioned arcs intersect, scribe a vertical line approximately 28 in. (71 cm) long. This will represent the center
line of the stern drive.
NOTE: For twin application, measure (to
the port and starboard) off the vessel vertical center line over to the engine crank shaft
center line and scribe a vertical center line
parallel to the vessel vertical center line. See
the lower drawing of Figure B on page 10 in
this manual for explanation.
FIGURE 1A
1.2 After establishing the x-dimension (see Figure B on page
10 in this manual), scribe a horizontal line at least 18 in.
(46 cm) long, perpendicular and centered on the existing
vertical line (scribed in Step 1.1).
NOTE: Specic characteristics of an installation may
change the recommended vertical drive position. Please
contact Konrad with any specic concerns.
ATTENTION: If you are installing the Konrad “Rear Mount / Tail Piece” assembly, please go
to step 19 (page 73 - 74) in this manual.
FIGURE 1B
500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUALJANUARY 2010PAGE 11
Step 1: Transom Cutout (continued)
1.3 Place the cutout template (10-455) on the exterior of the
transom and position it so the scribed horizontal and vertical match up with the scribed center lines on the template.
1.4 Trace the cut out area and the eight (8) holes. Remove the
template.
1.5 Center punch the eight (8) holes traced in Step 1.4. Drill
the eight (8) holes through the transom using a 5/8 in. (16
mm) drill bit.
FIGURE 1A
NOTE: Holes must be drilled perpendicular to the tran-
som face.
1.6 Using a reciprocating saw, cut out the area traced in Step
1.4. Use a le or rasp to touch up the cutout area.
NOTE: Cut must be made perpendicular to transom
face.
NOTE: For berglass transoms, it is recommended that
berglass epoxy resin be applied to the cut areas. Verify
that cutout area is correctly sized and shaped before
applying epoxy. Allow proper drying/setup time for epoxy
to cure.

500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUALJULY 2016PAGE 12
Step 2: Transom Assembly Installation
2.1 Grease the transom assembly gasket with marine grade
grease (see Figure 2A).
NOTE: If the gimbal carrier assembly is not mounted
in the gimbal housing bore, it should be done at this time
(see Figure 2B).
NOTE: The gimbal carrier ange may differ from the
one pictured in Figure 2B per application.
1) Lightly grease the carrier assembly and o-ring,
then slide it into the gimbal housing bore.
2) Rotate the carrier assembly to achieve correct
orientation. The brass nipple should be at
approximately two o’clock.
3)
NOTE: The gimbal carrier ange may differ from the
one pictured in Figure 2B per application.
Torque the three (3) fasteners to 70 lb. ft. (95 Nm).
FIGURE 2A
FIGURE 2B
2.2 Guide the transom assembly studs through the eight (8)
holes in the transom.
NOTE: The weight of the transom assembly is 81 lbs.
(36.7 kg). Use caution when lifting.
NOTE: Some installations/applications require an ex-
ternal adapter plate.
NOTE: Proper stud length varies due to hull thickness.
Stud length is also dictated by peripheral equipment that
mounts inside the hull (steering cylinder bracket, inner
transom plate, drive shaft shroud, etc.). Verify correct
stud length before continuing past this step.
FIGURE 2C
500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUALJULY 2016PAGE 13
Step 2: Transom Assembly Installation (continued)
2.3 Place the inner transom backing plate (10-357) over the
eight (8) studs from the inside of the vessel.
NOTE: If an internal steering cylinder is going to be
used, the bracket can be mounted on the upper one (1) or
two (2) sets of horizontal studs depending on the steering
cylinder style used.
NOTE: The inner transom plate may require modication
or elimination depending on steering cylinder assembly
used.
NOTE: If an inner transom backing plate is not used, the
round washers (10-415) must be replaced with rectangular
washers (10-941).
2.4 Secure the transom assembly to the transom by using
eight (8) nylock nuts (10-334) and eight (8) at washers
(10-415). Torque to 25-30 lb. ft. (34-41 Nm).
NOTE: Place inner transom backing plate continuity
cable between the washer and nylock nut of either of
the top two transom assembly studs before tightening (if
applicable).
NOTE: Connect the tiller arm continuity cable to the
inner transom backing plate by using the small phillips
head screw (if applicable).

attached in a later step.
FIGURE 2D
FIGURE 2E
500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUALJULY 2016PAGE 14
Step 3: Oil Reservoir Installation
Provided the stern drive and gimbal carrier (if applicable) are
purged, the oil level can be checked at the remote oil reservoir. The
bottle should be visible upon opening the engine compartment
cover. There are two (2) different styles of reservoirs, one (1)
reservoir is used per drive. The one (1) pt. (.47 l) reservoir
assembly (with a rectangular bottle) has a part number of 30-
179. The part number of the bottle only is 10-431. The one (1)
qt. (.95 l) reservoir assembly (with a cylindrical bottle) has a
part number of 30-295. The part number of the bottle only is 30941 (See Figure 3A). Manufacturer will have predetermined the
correct reservoir.
3.1 This is a gravity feed system. Position the oil reservoir
bottle and bracket on the transom, keeping it as high as
possible. The oil bottle must be above the line input to
the stern drive and gimbal carrier (if applicable). When
considering the position make sure that there is enough
clearance to ll the bottle with oil. Keep in mind that
the bottle may be removed from the bracket to be lled,
however, it must be secured again after lling is complete
(see Figure 3B).
FIGURE 3A
NOTE: Pay attention to the placement of the bottle
bracket to ensure that they will clear the steering cylinder
ram or other moving parts that will potentially be mounted
in later steps.
NOTE: The connecting oil hoses must be fastened to the
transom within 6 in. (15 cm) of the oil bottle and every 6
in. (15 cm) afterward (see Figure 3C). Oil hoses must not
be kinked or looped such that it impedes gravity feed.
3.2 For berglass hulls, mount the bottle bracket with two
(2) lag screws. For aluminum hulls, attach bottle bracket
to hull by welding or using a mounting plate (see Figure
3B).
FIGURE 3B

hose which is attached to the gimbal housing to brass
reducer coupling, located on 1/4 in. hose.
3.7 Fill oil bottle to “ll” line with Konrad 75W90 synthetic
gear lube.
NOTE: In accordance with MSDS regulations and
requirements, the stern drive is shipped full of the above
mentioned lubricant. Prior to operation, verify that the
entire system is completely purged of air and lled with
lubricant. If a different gear oil is chosen for your
application, it is recommending that the stern drive is
drained and relled. This may void manufacturer’s
warranty. Purge oil line to the stern drive by manually
opening connecting valve located on the outside port face
of bell housing (outboard side of transom). Open valve
until solid oil ow occurs. Rell oil bottle at proper level
indicated on bottle.

Step 5: Stern Drive Installation
NOTE: If this is a direct couple tailpiece application, do
not install the stern drive at this time. Return to this step
after completing Step 6A on page 29 in this manual.
5.1 Rig the Konrad drive for lifting. Secure the stern drive to
the lifting device with a nylon strap.
NOTE: Optional lifting bracket (12-388) is available to
assist in the lifting process (see Figure 5A).
520 Stern Drive Weight is 188 lbs. (85.3 kg)
540 Stern Drive Weight is 153 lbs. (69.4 kg)
560 Stern Drive Weight is 167 lbs. (75.7 kg)
NOTE: An overhead lifting device is the preferred meth-
od of lifting the Konrad drive. A lifting cart or forklift may
be used as an alternate lifting device.
5.2 Remove the six (6) nuts (10-334) and six (6) washers
(10-415) from the bell housing studs (10-250). (These
nuts and washers are on the studs when shipped from
Konrad).
FIGURE 5A
FIGURE 5B
500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUALJULY 2016PAGE 24
Step 5: Stern Drive Installation (continued)
5.3 Using marine grade grease, grease both sides of the gasket
(10-305) and slide it over the six (6) studs on the bell
housing. Slide it forward until it makes full contact with
the bell housing face.
NOTE: Observe proper orientation of gasket.
FIGURE 5C
5.4 Grease the o-rings (10-306) (see Figure 5D) and (10-493)
(see Figure 5E).

FIGURE 5E
500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUALJULY 2016PAGE 25
Step 5: Stern Drive Installation (continued)
5.5 Grease the splined end yoke shaft (10-365).
5.6 Grease one end of the engagement pin (10-494) (see
Figure 5G). Insert greased end into the end of the splined
end yoke shaft (see Figure 5H). Three quarters (3/4) of
the engagement pin should remain beyond the end of the
splined end yoke shaft.
FIGURE 5F
FIGURE 5G
FIGURE 5H
500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUALJULY 2016PAGE 26
Step 5: Stern Drive Installation (continued)
5.7 Slide drive onto transom assembly. The splined end yoke
shaft and u-joint assembly must be held up and guided
into the gimbal carrier or tailpiece assembly.
NOTE: It may be necessary to rotate the splined end
yoke shaft (this can be achieved by sliding the propeller
onto the splined propeller shaft and rotating it back and
forth or re-orientating input yoke using a screwdriver as
pictured in Figure 5I) or yoke assembly so the splines
line up for the drive to be fully seated against the transom
assembly.
NOTE: If the stern drive does not engage easily, pull
stern drive back, reset engagement pin and reattempt 5.7.
WARNING! Do not impact or apply force to the drive
while engaging the input shaft as this will damage the
gimbal carrier seal.
FIGURE 5I
5.8 Fasten the stern drive to the transom assembly using the
six (6) nuts and six (6) washers provided. Torque to 55 lb.
ft. (74 Nm).
NOTE: Be sure to put the continuity cable ring on the
upper starboard stud before putting the washer and nut
on.
An alternate method of stern drive installation is to remove
the gimbal carrier assembly (non-tailpiece applications)
from the gimbal housing (inside of the vessel). This can be
done by removing the three (3) S.H.C.S. (10-385). Hold
up the splined end yoke shaft and guide it into gimbal
carrier as the carrier is reinstalled. Torque the three (3)
S.H.C.S. (10-385) to 70 lb. ft. (95 Nm).

Step 6: Alignment Procedures
NOTE: General vessel installation plans should be di-
rected at near straight shaft angles. The shaft’s maximum
misalignment tolerances should be reserved for temporary
movement of components while the vessel is underway.
A) Direct Couple Rear Mount
with Tailpiece
1) Attach transmission to engine.
2) Attach tailpiece unit to transmission.
3) Slide o-ring on to tailpiece.
4) Lightly grease o-ring.
5) Position engine into vessel.
6) Slide tailpiece into gimbal housing bore.
7) Fasten tail piece assembly to tail piece
mounting plate.
8) Use Tool TO-094 for alignment. Shaft must
slide easily into tailpiece spline until fully
engaged to the limiting shoulder surface.
FIGURE 6A
NOTE: See Step 19 for complete detailed instructions.
B) Direct Rubber Coupling
1) Rubber coupling must be oriented for transmis-
sion output rotation in forward mode
in Steps 15 on pages 64 - 67 in this manual.
2) Install engine transmission and shaft to gimbal
carrier trilobe ange. Do not tighten any bolts.
3) Transmission output ange must be indicated
to the gimbal carrier outside diameter (and
face) within .003 in. (.076 mm). Adjust engine
mounts accordingly.
4) Tighten all fasteners to specied torque of
70 lb. ft. (95 Nm).
as stated
FIGURE 6B
500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUALJULY 2016PAGE 29
Step 6: Alignment Procedures (continued)
C) Rubber Coupling Extension Shafts
1) Remove frost plug (10-485).
2) Fasten alignment ange (11-284) to gimbal
carrier.
3) Fix magnetic base, arm and dial indicator
assembly (GO-017) to transmission output
ange. Complete assembly must be rigidly
fastened.
4) Rotate transmission ange indicating the
face of the alignment ange. All facial
measurements must be within .010 in. (.25 mm).
5) Rotate transmission ange indicating the
circumference of the alignment ange. All
measurements must be within .010 in. (.25 mm).
6) Remove alignment ange and install frost plug.
7) Install rubber coupling drive shaft assembly
according to Step 15 on pages 64 - 67 in this
manual.
8) For longer extension shafts, an extension piece

Step 6: Alignment Procedures (continued)
D) U-Joint Extension Shaft
NOTE: It is recommended to hold either the horizontal or
vertical offset at zero and achieve the offset in one plane.
In most cases it is easier to hold the horizontal measurement at zero. In most cases, the use of a u-joint shaft is not
recommended, please contact Konrad for approval prior to
installation.
1) Transmission output ange and gimbal carrier
input ange must be parallel within .010 in.
(.25 mm).
2) Transmission output ange and gimbal carrier
input ange must have a compounded vertical
and horizontal offset angle (a) which is
1.0˚ > (a) > 0.5˚. This dimension is a function
of the length of the shaft.
3) To determine vertical offset (see Figure 6D)
(x): x = tan a (y - 3.376 in.) or(x): x = tan a (y - 8.575 cm)
4) Fix magnetic base, arm and dial indicator
assembly (GO-017) to transmission output
ange.
5) Rotate transmission ange indicating the face
of the alignment ange. All facial mea-
surements must be within .010 in. (.25 mm).
6) Rotate transmission ange indicating the cir-
cumference of the alignment ange. All mea-
surements must be within .010 in. (.25 mm).
Offset measurements are according to calcula tion in section D3 above.
7) Refer to Step 16 on pages 68 - 69 in this manual
for u-joint extension shaft installation.
FIGURE 6C
FIGURE 6D
500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUALJULY 2016PAGE 31
Step 6: Alignment Procedures (continued)
E) CV Extension Shaft
NOTE: The transmission output ange and gimbal
carrier input ange must be parallel within two de-
grees (2°) or manufacturer’s approval dependent on
power and RPM levels.
1) A constant velocity joint is recommended over
a u-joint shaft because, unlike the u-joint, it has
no signicant impacts on the stern drive gear
sets.
2) The transmission output ange and gimbal car-
rier input ange must be concentric within
the manufacturer’s recommended specications.
3) Fix magnetic base, arm and dial indicator
assembly (GO-017) to transmission output
ange.
4) Rotate transmission ange indicating the face
of the alignment ange. All facial measure-
ments must be within manufacturer’s require ments.
5) Rotate transmission ange indicating the
circumference of the alignment ange. All
measurements must be within the manufac turer’s requirements.
6) Refer to Step 17 on pages 70 - 71 in this manual
for CV extension shaft installation.
7) The axial distance must be within .0625 in.
(1.59 mm) of the shaft’s working length
(including the adapter anges).

spacer (12-535), one washer (10-442) and bushing (10-
443) (tapered pointing away from drive) on to the port
and starboard side of the rear trim cylinder anchor pin.
7.4 Slide the trim cylinders onto the anchor pins.
NOTE:If trim cylinders are at an inappropriate length
to t onto the anchor pins, the drive must be lifted up
manually or the red caps (see Step 7.6 on page 34 in this
manual) must be removed and length must be adjusted.
CAUTION: Fluid may run or squirt out of the ports when
adjusting length.
FIGURE 7B
FIGURE 7C
NOTE:The end of the trim cylinder with the hydraulic
line inputs must be face up and closest the transom.
FIGURE 7D
500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUALJULY 2016PAGE 33
Step 7: Trim Cylinder Installation (continued)
7.5 Place bushing (10-443), retaining washer (10-444) and
nylock nut (10-314) on forward and aft anchor pins.
Tighten the forward nuts to 20 lb ft (27 Nm). Tighten
the aft nut so the retaining washer (10-444) bottoms out
on the shoulder of the anchor pin. Make sure at least two
or three (2-3) threads are showing beyond the end of the
nuts.
NOTE: Install all four (4) nylock nuts (10-314) before
tightening nuts completely.
7.6 Remove the red caps from the trim cylinders if they have
not been removed previously (see step 7.4 on page 33
in this manual). The trim cylinders have red plastic caps
in the hydraulic line ports when they are shipped from
Konrad.

7.7 Hook up the four (4) trim lines (from the transom assembly
to the trim cylinders) according to their tags. The line
input on the trim cylinders closest to the transom is up.
NOTE: Ensure to not cross thread the hose’s ttings and
tighten down until snug. DO NOT overtighten. Check for
leaks after the trim pump is bled (Step 11 on pages 46-47
in this manual).
