PROPELLER
Your engine is equipped with a general duty pro-,
peller which should give you good all around op-
erating characteristics
on a typical
boat for this
size engine. Your propeller is correct for your ap-
plication if the motor runs within the recommend
operating range at full throttle (See page 4).
If
your motor RPM is too high or low, you should re-
prop your motor (See Page 6 Accessories)
for
your application.
