Propeller
For best performance and fuel economy, maximum
engine revolutions must correspond to the maximum
propeller revolution range; refer to Engines. If maxi-
mum engine revolutions exceed the propeller revolu-
tion range, the propeller must be replaced. Ask your
Volvo Penta dealer for advice if you wish to switch to
a propeller with a different pitch and diameter.
In twin installations one propeller must have right rota-
tion and the other left rotation. Both must have the
same pitch and diameter.
Damaged propellers must be replaced as soon as pos-
sible. If a boat must be driven with a damaged propel-
ler, do so with extreme caution and only at reduced
rpm.
WARNING!
Make sure the engine can not start during work on pro-
peller(s); remove ignition key(s) and shift drive into for-
ward or reverse.

Removing the propeller
Lock the propeller shaft
1 Remove the five bolts and remove the cover (1)
from the sterndrive.
2 Remove the cotter pin (2) from the shift cube (3) to
which the gear shift cable (4) is fastened. Remove
the shift cube and washer (5) from the lever (6)
without turning the cube.
3 Put the sterndrive into gear by hand by pulling the
lever to either the forward position (F) or reverse
position (R).
Alternatively, the propeller can be locked by putting the
transmission in neutral and placing a block of wood
between the cavitation plate and one of the propeller
blades.
