Propeller care
A damaged or unbalanced propeller will cause excessive
vibration 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 dealer. 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 autho-
rized Volvo Penta dealer or propeller repair station.
Caution!
Protect your hands from the sharp edges of the propel-
ler blades. Wear gloves whenever you remove or replace
a propeller.
Do not attempt to hold propellers by hand when you re-
move or install propellers and propeller nuts. Serious
injury could result.
