Repair
If your propeller hits a solid object, the impact
is partially absorbed by the bushing in the hub
to help prevent damage to the outboard. A
strong impact can damage the hub and pro-
peller blades. Damage to blades can cause
unusual and excessive vibration. Damage to
the hub can cause excessive engine RPM
with little forward movement.
NOTICE
Avoid or limit operation using a dam-
aged propeller. You may want to 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.
