PROPELLER SELECTION
Depending on the model, Yamaha outboard motors are fitted with the propellers which are chosen
to perform well over a range of applications, but there may be the uses where a propeller with a dif-
ferent pitch would be more appropriate.
For a greater operating load, a smaller pitch propeller is more suitable as enables the correct engine
speed at WOT (Wide-Open-Throttle) to be maintained.
Conversely, a larger pitch propeller is more suitable for a smaller operating load.
For details, see the WOT operation range table in this chapter.
Besides, select the best matched propeller series that meet the purpose of use depending on the
classification and/or type of boat.
