Repair
If your propeller hits a solid object, the impact
is partially absorbed by the bushing in the hub
to help prevent damage to the outboard. A
strong impact can damage the hub and pro-
peller blades. Damage to blades can cause
unusual and excessive vibration. Damage to
the hub can cause excessive engine RPM
with little forward movement.
Keep your propeller in good condition. Use a
file to smooth slight damage to blade edges.
See your Dealer for repair of serious damage.
NOTICE
Apply Triple-Guard grease to the entire
propeller shaft before installing the pro-
peller. At least annually, remove the pro-
peller and check for debris. Clean the
shaft and re-grease it before reinstalling
a propeller.

NOTICE
Avoid or limit operation using a dam-
aged propeller. Carry a spare propeller.
