similar product will help slide the connects back together. Note that the red ring
goes over the raised ring to ensure a working connection.
Propeller Maintenance
Propeller damage is caused by striking solid objects. If the propeller is not rotating
at the time it strikes a solid object, the damage is usually confined to just one blade and
may be dicult to see. If the propeller is rotating when it strikes an object, usually the
resulting damage can easily be seen on all blades.
Checking/Repairing Propellers
Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and the emergency safety stop switch is disconnect-
ed.
Step 2: Clamp a small rule scale to the shaft strut, parallel to the shaft so that the end
ofthescaleis3/32-inchesfromtheleadingedgeofapropellerblade.
Step 3: Rotatethepropellerslowly.Thereshouldbenomorethan3/32-inchvariance
between the blades. If the propeller is damaged, see an authorized MasterCraft
dealer.
Changing Propellers
Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and the engine
safety starting switch is disconnected.
Step 2: Removeanddiscardthecotterpin.
Step 3: Removethepropellernut.
Step 4: Tap the center hub of the propeller with
a rubber mallet to release the propeller.
Inspect the shaft and propeller splines for
damage.
Step 5: Thoroughly clean and apply a light coat of
waterproof marine multi-purpose grease to
the splined area of the shaft and propeller.
Step 6: Align the splines and carefully install the
propeller onto the shaft. DO NOT FORCE
THE PROPELLER INTO PLACE.
