Mercruiser Tee valve assembly

[VeeSporty]

Good Evening,

1986 Mercruiser 230, outdrive upgraded to A1 G2.
Boat has lived in salt water for years (unfortunately).
Recently found rod and springs inside Tee fitting badly corroded.

Question - After I replace the rod and springs, how do I know how much compression to put on the springs?

Thanks.

If I remember right the nut gets tightened until it bottoms out at the end of the threads.
Good Luck Muc

Ayuh,... The Check-balls aren't used with the Gen.II drives...
