BRP Evinrude E-TEC G2 Service Manual page 41

When selecting a propeller, consider the following:
•
Use an accurate tachometer to determine the
engine's full-throttle RPM.
•
The outboard should be trimmed for top speed.
•
Select a propeller that suits the customer's
application and allows the engine to run near
the midpoint of the full-throttle operating range
when the boat has a normal load.
•
Occasionally, one propeller will not cover a wide
range of boat applications — water skiing to
high speed performance boating. In such cases,
it might be necessary to have a propeller for
each situation.
•
Refer to the Evinrude Genuine Parts and
Accessories Catalog for propeller styles and
sizes.
•
Right-hand propellers are considered standard
rotation propellers. When propelling a boat for-
ward, the propeller rotates in a right-hand
(clockwise) direction as viewed from the rear.
•
Left-hand propellers are considered counter-
rotation propellers. When propelling a boat for-
ward, the propeller rotates in a left-hand (coun-
terclockwise) direction as viewed from the rear.

WARNING
For multiple outboard installations always
check to be sure propellers are installed on
the correct engines before aggressively oper-
ating the boat.
Propeller Hardware Installation
When servicing the propeller, always shift the
outboard to NEUTRAL position, turn the key
switch OFF and remove the key, so the out-
board cannot be started accidentally.
IMPORTANT:
REQUIRE Propeller Hub Kit, P/N 767683, and Nut
& Keeper Assembly, P/N 5008966.
Apply Triple Guard grease to the entire propeller
shaft before installing the propeller.
Install thrust bushing onto propeller shaft with
taper of bushing matching taper of shaft.
Install the bushing and sleeve into the propeller.
Align splines of propeller and shaft. Push propeller
until seated on the thrust bushing.
Install the spacer over the propeller shaft splines.
Wedge a block of wood between propeller blade
1 and the anti-ventilation plate.
