Removing Propeller - Yamaha VF200 Owner's Manual

gine accidentally starts when you are
near the propeller. Before inspecting, re-
moving, or installing the propeller, move
the remote control lever to the neutral po-
sition, turn the main switch to the "
(off) position, remove the key, and re-
move the clip from the engine shut-off
switch. Turn off the battery cut-off switch
if your boat has one.

cavitation plate and the propeller to prevent
the propeller from turning.


sion from cavitation or ventilation, and oth-
er damage.


Check the splines for wear and damage.
