PROPELLER INSTALLATION
NOTICE
Installing a propeller with either too much or too little
pitch will cause incorrect maximum engine speed,
which may result in severe damage to the motor.
Select a propeller that will allow the engine to reach
the recommended operating range at full throttle with
the maximum boat load.
Selection
Select propellers as shown below so that the specified engine
rpm is obtained with the throttle fully opened.
Recommended full
throttle speed range
NOTICE
Using the improper combination of front and rear pro-
pellers can cause lower unit damage.
Confirm the size of the front and rear propellers when
installing them.
The front and rear propellers must be the same num-
ber of blades, diameter and pitch.
