Keep your propeller in good condition. Use a file to smooth
slight damage to blade edges.
IMPELLER SERVICE, MJRL
Removal
Be alert of people in the water. Always shift the out-
board to NEUTRAL and shut off the engine immedi-
ately when your boat is in an area where there might
be people in the water. Serious injury or death can
result from contacting a rotating propeller or mov-
ing boat and outboard.
Use a 3/16 Ballhex driver to remove the six impeller hous-
ing screws. Remove the impeller housing.
To select the correct propeller for your boating application,
your boat and outboard MUST be water tested.
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 SPECIFICATIONS on page 38.
WARNING
When servicing the propeller, always shift the out-
board to NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch
OFF, and twist and remove all spark plug wires so
the outboard cannot be started accidentally.
IMPORTANT: Apply Triple-Guard grease to the entire pro-
peller shaft before installing the propeller. At least annually,
remove the propeller and check for debris. Clean the shaft
and regrease it before reinstalling a propeller.
Installation
Slide thrust washer onto shaft with shoulder facing aft.
Slide propeller onto shaft, engaging the splines and seat-
ing it on the thrust bushing.
Slide spacer onto the shaft and engage the propeller shaft
splines.
Wedge a block of wood between the propeller blade and
the anti-ventilation plate.
Install propeller nut and tighten to a torque of 13.6-
16.3
N·m (120-144 in. lbs.).
Install keeper on propeller nut, align keeper slots and cotter
pin hole.
Install new cotter pin and bend ends to secure.
Remove block of wood. Make sure engine is in NEUTRAL;
give propeller a spin. It must turn freely.
Repair
If your propeller hits a solid object, the impact is partially
absorbed by the rubber bushing in the hub to help prevent
damage to the outboard. A strong impact can damage the
hub and propeller blades. Damage to blades can cause un-
usual and excessive vibration. Damage to the hub can
cause excessive engine RPM with little forward movement.
IMPORTANT: Avoid or limit operation using a damaged
propeller. Carry a spare propeller.
