Removal
Remove the cotter pin, the
propeller cap, and the propeller.
Remove the broken shear pin and
replace it with a new one.
Operating the outboard motor at
higher altitudes will reduce available
power. This may require decreasing
the propeller pitch to maintain correct
engine RPM.
The propeller blades may have sharp
edges, so wear heavy gloves to
protect your hands.

obstruction.
Before replacing the propeller or the
shear pin, 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.
