4. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Propeller and Tab Washer
TAB ‘WASHER
Propeller
Engine speed varies according to the
propeller size and the boat condition.
The propeller must be selected
properly in order that the maximum
engine speed can be adjusted in the
recommended range between 5,000
rpm and 6,000 rpm for your boat.
Using the improper propeller might
cause outboard motor damage. The
proper propeller will assure powerful
acceleration, top speed, good fuel
economy and cruising comfort, and it
assures longer engine life as well.
Consult with your authorized Honda
dealer for proper propeller selection.
Check the propeller blades for
damage, wear or deformation and
replace if necessary. Never operate the
outboart motor with a damaged
propeller.
Carrying a spare propeller, propeller
nut, and tab washer are common prac-
tice. If the propeller is damaged and
no spare propeller is available, consult
an authorized Honda Marine dealer.
(Refer to page 123 for propeller
change information)
Tab Washer
Check to be sure 3 washer tabs are
bent into the corresponding propeller
hub recess, so the washer will retain
the nut securely.
The tab washer should be replaced
with a new one whenever a propeller
is installed.
