PROPELLERS
An outboard motor is designed to develop its rated power within a specified
engine speed range. The maximum rated power delivered by the DF150/175
models are shown below.
Recommended full
throttle speed range
If the standard propeller fails to meet the above requirement, use another pitch
propeller to hold the engine speed within the range specified above.

"
Installing a propeller with pitch either too high or too low will cause
incorrect maximum engine speed, which may result in severe dam-
age to the motor.
NOTE:
In the case of twin installation, always use the same size right-hand rotation and
counter-rotation propellers on both engines.
