Propellers - Volvo Penta AQ205 Operator's Manual

Start the engine. Run the engine with the drive en-
59
gaged if possible. Check that there are no fuel,
water or exhaust leaks in the boat. Also check
that the controls operate correctly.
Contact an authorized Volvo Penta workshop as
required.
Let the workshop carry out a service on the motor
60
and the drive according to the instructions in the
servicing schedule.
PROPELLERS, DP
The propellers are matched sets. Propellers with
61
different colour marking must not be fitted to the
same drive. A damaged propeller must be
changed without delay. Operate with extreme cau-
tion if a propeller is damaged. Do not drive with a
single propeller since this can damage the propel-
ler shafts.
The forward propeller is locked with a nut (1) and
tab washer (2). One of the tabs on the washer
must be bent into one of the recesses in the nut.
The rear propeller is locked with a cone (3). The
cone is locked with a screw (4), spanner jaw width
24 mm. (Tightening torque 22 Nm, 16 lb.ft.) Lubri-
cate the shaft with grease. Use Volvo Penta
grease (part number 828250-1).
WARNING! Handle the fish line cutter with
care since the edge is sharp and can cause
injury and damage.

ADJUSTING THE RETAINING PAWL
Check once a season and if necessary adjust the
63
location of the retaining pawl rod in relation to the
retaining paw] (A). Adjust as follows:
1. Remove the protective cover (1). Move the
control lever to neutral.
2. Disengage the shift cable swivel (2) and the
fork (3).
3. Release the locknut for the fork (3). Adjust
the fork so that when it is connected to the
lever it causes the retaining pawl rod (4) to
take up such a position that it reaches the re-
taining pawl bracket at "A" without pressing
against it. Lock the fork (3) with the locknut.
