Also put the main switch in the "OFF"
position and remove the key, and
remove the lanyard from the engine
stop switch. Turn off the battery cut-off
switch if your boat has one.

peller when loosening or tightening the
propeller nut. Put a wood block
between the cavitation plate and the
propeller to prevent the propeller from
