PROPELLER SELECTION

2
To select the correct propeller for your boating ap-
plication, your boat and motor MUST be water test-
ed. See your DEALER for assistance.
Refer to Propeller, before removing or installing
propeller.
IMPORTANT: The correct propeller for your boat,
under normal load conditions, will allow the engine
to run near the midpoint of the RPM operating
range at full throttle. Refer to Engine Specifica-
tions.
MOORING
You may moor your boat with the motor’s gearcase
out of the water by using its tilt feature. Refer to Tilt-
ing and Tilt Support.

DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without
adequate ventilation or permit exhaust
fumes to accumulate in confined areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
See your DEALER for a flushing device designed to
fit your engine. Follow manufacturer’s instructions
for installing and using it.

Start the engine — run it at idle only and
flush it for at least five minutes. Check the
water pump indicator. A steady stream of wa-
ter must flow. If it does not, shut OFF the en-
gine and investigate. Refer to Engine
Overheating.
Prevent injury from contact with rotating
propeller; remove the propeller before
flushing.

Leave the outboard in vertical position long
enough to completely drain the powerhead.

2)
Place the engine in vertical position in a well-
ventilated area with good drainage.
Cover the two small holes on each side of the
gearcase with heavy tape to make sure
enough water will travel to the powerhead.
Remember to uncover the holes after flush-
ing the engine.
