Propeller

Folding Propeller

The propeller must be cleaned and greased once

yearly. Remove the propeller and clean all parts

thoroughly. Brush water resistant grease on the

propeller blade cogs and bearing surfaces so that the

propeller folds easily. Also brush water resistant

grease on pins, spacer sleeves (stern drive), propeller

shaft and in the propeller hub.

WARNING!

Make sure the engine can not start during work on

propeller(s); remove ignition key(s) and shift drive into

forward or reverse.

Removal

2 Disassemble the propeller blades by screwing out

the lock screws (4) completely and then pressing

out the pins (1).

3 Drive: Fold down the edge of the tab washer (3)

and remove the lock screw (2), tab washer and nut

(5).

Reverse gear: Remove the nut (6), washer (7) and

then the lock screws (8).

drive). Clean and grease the propeller.
