Propeller

ENGINE DAMAGE HAZARD!
The factory standard propeller may not be the best for your particular boat and load condi-
tions. Refer to the engine manual for engine RPM ratings. The engine should reach, but not
exceed its full rated RPM when full-throttle is applied.
Immediately contact your local Bayliner dealer if:
• The engine cannot reach its full rated RPM when full-throttle is applied, or;
• The engine exceeds its full rated RPM when full-throttle is applied.
• Keep the propeller in good repair and at the correct pitch for your particular situation.
• A slightly bent or nicked propeller will adversely affect the performance of your boat.

Structural Limitations

The swim platform extension is designed to be lightweight for proper boat balance. The load limit for the swim plat-
form extension is 30 pounds per square foot, evenly distributed.
