Installing The Propeller - Mercury GO BOLDLY 25 EFI Operation, Maintenance And Installation Manual

Installing the Propeller

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 activate the lanyard stop switch
to prevent the engine from starting. Place a block of wood between the
propeller blade and the anti‑ventilation plate.
1. Shift the outboard to neutral (N) position.
2. Remove the spark plug leads to prevent the engine from starting.
3. Coat the propeller shaft with Extreme Grease or 2‑4‑C with PTFE.
IMPORTANT: To prevent the propeller hub from corroding and seizing to the
propeller shaft (especially in saltwater), always apply a coat of the
recommended lubricant to the entire propeller shaft at the recommended
maintenance intervals and also each time the propeller is removed.
