Vazer Propeller Removal

Rotating propellers can cause serious injury or death. Never operate the boat out of the
water with a propeller installed. Before installing or removing a propeller, place the drive
unit in neutral and engage the lanyard stop switch to prevent the engine from starting.
Place a block of wood between the propeller blade and the anti‑ventilation plate.
1. Straighten the bent tabs on the tab washer.
2. Place a wood block between the propeller blade and anti‑ventilation plate to prevent
rotation.
3. Turn the propeller shaft nut counterclockwise to remove the nut.
