Repair
If your propeller hits a solid object, the impact
007054
is partially absorbed by the rubber bushing in
the hub to help prevent damage to the out-
board. A strong impact can damage the hub
and propeller blades. Damage to blades can
cause unusual and excessive vibration. Dam-
age to the hub can cause excessive engine
RPM with little forward movement.
IMPORTANT: Avoid or limit operation using a
damaged propeller. Carry a spare propeller.
Keep your propeller in good condition. Use a
file to smooth slight damage to blade edges.
See your Dealer for repair of serious damage.
