SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
Propeller Replacement
Before replacing the propeller,
remove the emergency stop switch
clip from the emergency stop switch
to prevent any possibility of the
engine being started while you are
working with the propeller.
The propeller blades may have sharp
edges
, so wear heavy gloves to
protect your hands.
Operating the outboa
rd motor at
higher altitudes will reduce available
power. This may require decreasing
the propeller pitch to maintain correct
engine RPM.
Removal
Remove the cotter pin
, then remove
the propeller and shear pin.
Installation
Install the propeller in the reverse
ord
er of removal.
Use a Honda Genuine stainless steel
cotter pin and bend the pin ends as
shown. A non-stainless steel cotter
pin can deteriorate if used in
saltwater.
Spare shear pin and cotter pin are
provided on the
engine undercase
(p. 39).
