PROPELLER SELECTION
Outboard — Running
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.
WARNING
Prevent injury from contact with rotating
propeller; remove the propeller before
flushing.
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.
1)
Place the engine in vertical position in a well-
ventilated area with good drainage.
Install flushing device and garden hose.
Place the remote control lever in NEUTRAL
with the propeller removed.

3)
MOORING
4)
Start the water — keep pressure between 20
to 40 psi (140 to 300 kPa).
You may moor your boat with the motor’s gearcase
out of the water by using its tilt feature. Depending
on the model, refer to Tilting or Power Trim and
Tilt.
FLUSHING
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.

Flushing device
Water Pump Indicator
See your DEALER for a flushing device designed to
fit your engine. Follow manufacturer’s instructions
for installing and using it.
5)
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.
6)
Leave the outboard in vertical position long
enough to completely drain the powerhead.
