BRAVO 1 XR MODEL PROPELLERS
Rotating propellers can cause serious injury or death. Never operate the boat
out of the water with a propeller installed. Before installing or removing a
propeller, place the drive unit in neutral and engage the lanyard stop switch
to prevent the engine from starting. Place a block of wood between the
propeller blade and the anti‑ventilation plate.
Operating the engine with a loose propeller can damage the propeller, the
drive, or drive components. Always tighten the propeller nut or nuts to
specification and check for tightness periodically and at the required
maintenance interval.
