Propeller care
A damaged or unbalanced propeller will cause excessive vi-
bration and a loss of boat speed. Under these conditions, stop
the engine and check the propeller for damage. If the propeller
appears damaged, have it checked by your Volvo Penta deal-
er. Always carry a spare propeller and replace the damaged
propeller as soon as possible.
A rubber hub in the propeller is the shock absorber that mini-
mizes damage to drive unit and engine. If the rubber hub
should begin to slip, it can be easily replaced at an authorized
Volvo Penta dealer or propeller service station.
WARNING!
Protect your hands from the sharp edges of the pro-
peller blades. Wear gloves whenever you remove or
replace a propeller. Do not attempt to hold propellers
by hand when you remove or install propellers and
propeller nuts. Serious injury could result.
CAUTION!
Never continuously run with a damaged propeller.
Running with a damaged propeller can result in drive
unit and engine damage.
