X-Series
Propellers were not shipped with your sterndrive. The correct
propellers must be selected to match engine and boat com-
bination to give the best engine life, fuel economy, and per-
formance. The boat manufacturer has performed tests to de-
termine the optimum propellers for each boat and engine
combination. Consult the boat manufacturer for propeller rec-
ommendations, or refer to the Power and Propeller Perfor-
mance Charts . Tools for removing and installing the propel-
lers are contained in Volvo Penta's propeller tool kit, P/N
3862811.
Caution!
X-series composite propeller sets used on Ocean
Series applications are not recommended for use on
the 5.7OSi and 5.7OSXi engine combinations. D-
Series aluminum with speeds limited to 40 mph or less
or F-series stainless steel propeller sets should be used
in these applications.
1. Coat the full length of both propeller shafts with Volvo Penta
water resistant grease, P/N 828250-1.
2. Place the remote control in the FORWARD gear position
to lock the propeller shafts. Install the front propeller.
Caution!
Do not use the front propeller nut that comes on the
drive. This propeller nut is intended for D-series and F-
series propellers. Only use front propeller nuts de-
signed for X-series propellers
Place the front propeller assembly on the propeller shaft.
Install the propeller blade lock (1) with the tabs aligned in the
hub on the rear of the propeller.
3. Install the front propeller nut and tighten to 45 ft. lb. (60
N•m). Use propeller tool, P/N 3862797. The square open-
ing in the propeller tool is to allow the use of a 1/2 inch
square drive torque wrench.
Caution!
Be sure the flange of the propeller nut faces aft.
Installing the propeller nut backwards may damage the
propeller and will not allow the installation of the rear
propeller.
