Propellers
The propeller shaft should be smeared with a water
resistant grease once a year. Remove and install
according to the instructions on the next page.
Ask your Volvo Penta dealership for advice if you
wish to change to a propeller with another pitch or
diameter.
For twin installations one propeller must be right
rotating and the other left rotating. Both should have
the same pitch and diameter.
WARNING! Prevent an unwanted start. Remove
the ignition key or turn off power at main switch
before working on the propeller.

Remove the split pin (1) and the locking tab
washer (2)
2. Put a wooden block between the propeller blade

the bushing (6).
4. Grease the propeller shaft using water repellant
