Propeller Selection; Mooring - Evinrude 100 Operator's Manual

PROPELLER SELECTION

To select the correct propeller for your boating ap-
plication, your boat and motor MUST be water test-
ed. See your DEALER for assistance.
Refer to Propeller, before removing or installing
propeller.
IMPORTANT: The correct propeller for your boat,
under normal load conditions, will allow the engine
to run near the midpoint of the RPM operating
range at full throttle. Refer to Engine Specifica-
tions.
Right-hand propellers are considered standard ro-
tation propellers. When propelling a boat forward,
the propeller rotates in a right-hand (clockwise) di-
rection as viewed from the rear.
Left-hand propellers are considered counter-rota-
tion propellers. When propelling a boat forward, the
propeller rotates in a left-hand (counterclockwise)
direction as viewed from the rear.
1. Right-Hand (clockwise)
2. Left-Hand (counterclockwise)
WARNING
If you have a dual engine installation that
includes a counter-rotating engine and you
remove the propellers, always check to be
sure they are installed on the correct
engines before aggressively operating your
boat. Shift each motor individually into
FORWARD or REVERSE, at idle speed only.
If the boat moves opposite the direction
indicated by the remote control handle, the
wrong propeller has been installed on the
motor being checked. Install the correct
propeller and confirm your installation
using the above method before any attempt
is made to operate the boat.

idly on the stern brackets.
