CHECKING PROPELLER

You could be seriously injured if the

engine accidentally starts while you are

near the propeller.

8 Before inspecting, removing or

installing the propeller, remove the

spark plug caps from the spark plugs.

Also, put the shift control in Neutral,

put the main switch in the OFF position

and remove the key, and remove the

lanyard from the engine stop switch.

Turn off the battery cut-off switch if

your boat has one.

8 Do not use your hand to hold the pro-

peller when loosening or tightening the

propeller nut. Put a wood block

between the cavitation plate and the

propeller to prevent the propeller from

turning.

1) Check each of the propeller blades for

wear, erosion from cavitation or ven-

tilation, or other damage.

2) Check the splines for wear and dam-

age.

3) Check for fish line winding around the

propeller shaft. Check the propeller

shaft oil seal for damage.
