Removal Installation
Before replacing the propeller,
remove the clip from the engine stop
switch to prevent any possibility of
the engine being started while you
are working with the propeller.
The propeller blades may have sharp
edges, so wear heavy gloves to
protect your hands.
Remove the cotter pin, unscrew the
castle nut, remove the washers, then
remove the propeller and thrust
washer. Install the propeller in the reverse
order of removal.
Install the thrust washer with the
grooved side toward the gear case.
Use a genuine Honda stainless
cotter pin and bend the pin ends as
shown.
