PROPELLER
Repair
If your propeller hits a solid object, the impact is par-
tially absorbed by the rubber bushing in the hub to
help prevent damage to the engine. A strong impact
can damage the hub and propeller blades. Damage
to blades can cause unusual and excessive vibra-
tion. Damage to the hub can cause excessive en-
gine RPM with little forward movement.
WARNING
When servicing the propeller, always shift
the outboard to NEUTRAL position, and
twist and remove all spark plug leads so the
engine cannot be started accidentally.
IMPORTANT: Avoid or limit operation using a dam-
aged propeller. Carry a spare propeller.
Keep your propeller in good condition. Use a file to
IMPORTANT: Apply Triple-Guard grease to the en- smooth slight damage to blade edges. See your
tire propeller shaft before installing the propeller. At
least annually, remove the propeller and check for
debris. Clean the shaft and regrease it before rein-
stalling a propeller.

Slide propeller onto shaft.
Slide thrust washer onto shaft over propeller.
Insert new drive pin into propeller shaft. A new pin
can be used to remove a damaged pin.

IMPORTANT: A restricted fuel delivery system will
not allow the engine fuel pump to deliver sufficient
fuel under all conditions. This can result in loss of
performance and possibly engine damage.
Install new cotter pin through cap and shaft. Spread
ends of cotter pin to secure the assembly.
