Battery requirement
Make sure that the size of the battery cable
terminals is appropriate for the size of the
battery terminals.
To prevent the battery cable terminal connec-
tions from corroding, solder each battery
cable terminal to the battery cable.
Propeller selection
The performance of a boat and outboard
motor will be critically affected by the size
and type of propeller that is used. Propellers
greatly affect boat speed, acceleration,
engine life, fuel economy, and even boating
and steering capabilities. An incorrect choice
could adversely affect performance and could
also seriously damage the engine.
Use the following information as a guide for
selecting a propeller that meets the operating
conditions of the boat and outboard motor.
Propeller size
The size of the propeller is indicated on a
propeller blade.
a Propeller diameter (in inches)
b Propeller pitch (in inches)
c Propeller type (propeller mark)
Selection
When the engine speed is at the full throttle
operating range, the ideal propeller for the
boat is one that provides maximum perfor-
mance in relation to boat speed and fuel con-
sumption.
