q
Do not use your hand to hold the pro-
peller when loosening or tightening the
propeller nut. Put a wood block be-
tween the anti-cavitation plate and the
propeller to prevent the propeller from
turning.
q
Check the propeller shaft oil seal for dam-
age.
NOTE:
If the shear pin equipped: it is designed to
break if the propeller hits a hard underwater
obstacle to help protect the propeller and
drive mechanism. The propeller will then
spin freely on the shaft. If this happens, the
shear pin must be replaced.
