PROPELLER SELECTION
To select the correct propeller for your boating ap-
plication, your boat and motor MUST be water test-
ed. See your Dealer for assistance.
Refer to Propeller, before removing or installing
propeller.
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 Engine Specifica-
tions.
MOORING
You may moor your boat with the motor’s gearcase
out of the water by using its tilt feature. Depending
on the model, refer to Tilt Support or Power Trim
and Tilt.
FLUSHING
DO NOT use the flushing port on the starboard side
of the gearcase. Using this flushing port will restrict
water supply to the engine, causing damage.
1. Flushing port – DO NOT USE
See your Dealer for a flushing device designed to fit
your engine. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for
installing and using it.
IMPORTANT: Before flushing the engine on a
flushing device, you must cover the auxiliary water
intake under the antiventilation plate with tape to
make sure enough water will travel to the engine.
Remember to remove the tape after flushing the en-
gine.

DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without
adequate ventilation or permit exhaust
fumes to accumulate in confined areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
