Propeller
Propeller Care
A damaged or unbalanced propeller will cause
excessive vibration and a loss of boat speed. Under
these conditions, stop the engine and check the
propeller for damage. If the propeller appears
damaged, have it checked by your Volvo Penta dealer.
Always carry a spare propeller and replace the
damaged propeller as soon as possible.
A rubber hub in the propeller is the shock absorber that
minimizes damage to drive units and engines. If the
rubber hub should begin to slip, it can be easily
replaced at an authorized Volvo Penta dealer or
propeller shop.
WARNING!
Protect your hands from the sharp edges of the
propeller blades. Wear gloves whenever you remove
or replace a propeller. Do not attempt to hold propellers
by hand when you remove or install propellers and
propeller nuts. Serious injury could result.
NOTICE! Never continuously run with a damaged
propeller. Running with a damaged propeller can result
in drive unit and engine damage.
Propeller Replacement
Removing and installing propellers is covered in the
Service and Maintenance Manual.
Special tools are required for DPS propellers. See your
dealer to acquire the tools.
