Folding Propeller
The propeller must be cleaned and greased once
yearly. Remove the propeller and clean all parts
thoroughly. Brush water resistant grease on the
propeller blade cogs and bearing surfaces so that the
propeller folds easily. Also brush water resistant
grease on pins, spacer sleeves (stern drive), propeller
shaft and in the propeller hub.
WARNING!
Make sure the engine can not start during work on
propeller(s); remove ignition key(s) and shift drive into
forward or reverse.
Removal
1 Set the control lever to the "Ahead" position.
2 Disassemble the propeller blades by screwing out
the lock screws (4) completely and then pressing
out the pins (1).
3 Drive: Fold down the edge of the tab washer (3)
and remove the lock screw (2), tab washer and nut
(5).
Reverse gear: Remove the nut (6), washer (7) and
then the lock screws (8).
4 Pull off the propeller hub and spacer sleeve (stern
drive). Clean and grease the propeller.
