You could be seriously injured if the en-
gine accidentally starts when you are near
the propeller. Before inspecting, remov-
ing, or installing the propeller, move the
remote control lever to the neutral posi-
tion, turn the main switch to the "
position, remove the key, and remove the
clip from the engine shut-off switch. Turn
off the battery cut-off switch if your boat
has one.
Do not use your hand to hold the propeller
when loosening or tightening the propeller
