Engine & Accessories Guidelines
When storing your boat please refer to your engine's operation and maintenance manuals.
• Your boat's engine and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service.
• Installing a different engine or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics.
• Should you choose to install a different engine or to add accessories that will affect the boat's running trim, have
an experienced marine technician perform a safety inspection and handling test before operating your boat again.
Certain modifications to your boat will result in cancellation of your warranty protection.
• Always check with your dealer before making any modifications to your boat.

Propeller

ENGINE DAMAGE HAZARD!
The factory standard propeller may not be the best for your particular boat and load
conditions. 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 Maxum 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.
Engine & Accessories Literature
• The engine and accessories installed on your boat come with their own operation and maintenance manuals.
• Read these manuals before using the engine and accessories.
• Unless noted otherwise, all engine and accessory literature referred to in this Supplement is included in your
owner's packet.
