RIGGING AND ACCESSORIES

PROPELLER

Propeller Selection

To select the correct propeller for your boating
application, your boat and motor MUST be
water tested. See your Dealer for assistance.

IMPORTANT: 

The correct propeller for your

boat, under normal load conditions, will allow
the engine to run near the midpoint of the
RPM operating range at full throttle. Refer to

Specifications

 on page 45.

IMPORTANT: 

Apply 

Triple-Guard grease to

the entire propeller shaft before installing the
propeller. At least annually, remove the pro-
peller and check for debris. Clean the shaft
and regrease it before reinstalling a propeller.

Standard vs. Counter Rotation

Right-hand propellers are considered stan-
dard rotation propellers. When propelling a
boat forward, the propeller rotates in a right-
hand (clockwise) direction as viewed from the
rear.
Left-hand propellers are considered counter
rotation propellers. When propelling a boat
forward, the propeller rotates in a left-hand
(counterclockwise) direction as viewed from
the rear.

1. Right-Hand (clockwise)
2. Left-Hand (counterclockwise)

WARNING

Be alert of people in the water. Always
shift the outboard to NEUTRAL and
shut off the engine immediately when
your boat is in an area where there
might be people in the water. Serious
injury or death can result from contact-
ing a rotating propeller or moving boat
and outboard.

WARNING

When servicing the propeller, always
shift the outboard to NEUTRAL posi-
tion, turn the key switch OFF, and twist
and remove all spark plug wires so the
outboard cannot be started acciden-
tally.

WARNING

In dual-outboard installations, check to
make sure correct propellers are
installed on each outboard before
aggressively operating your boat. Shift
each engine individually into FOR-
WARD or REVERSE, at idle speed only.
If the boat moves opposite the direc-
tion indicated by the remote control
handle, the wrong propeller has been
installed on the outboard being
checked.
