PROPELLER SELECTION
MOORING
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.
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 Tilt Support or Power Trim
and Tilt.
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.
DANGER
Right-hand propellers are considered standard ro-
tation propellers. When propelling a boat forward,
the propeller rotates in a right-hand (clockwise) di-
rection as viewed from the rear.
Left-hand propellers are considered counter-rota-
tion propellers. When propelling a boat forward, the
propeller rotates in a left-hand (counterclockwise)
direction as viewed from the rear.
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.

Right-hand (clockwise)
Left-hand (counterclockwise)
WARNING
If you have a dual engine installation that
includes a counter-rotating engine and you
remove the propellers, always check to be
sure they are installed on the correct
engines before aggressively operating your
boat. Shift each motor individually into
FORWARD or REVERSE, at idle speed only.
If the boat moves opposite the direction
indicated by the remote control handle, the
wrong propeller has been installed on the
motor being checked. Install the correct
propeller and confirm your installation
using the above method before any attempt
is made to operate the boat.
