Propeller rotates rapidly while
cruising. Before starting the engine,
check the propeller blades for
damage and deformation and replace
if necessary.
Obtain a spare propeller for the event
of an unpredictable accident while
cruising. If no spare propeller is
available, return to the pier at low
speed and replace.
Consult an authorized Honda
outboard motor dealer for propeller
selection.
Keep the spare plain washer, castle
nut and cotter pin with you on your
boat.
Replace whenever the propeller is
faulty.
Check the cotter pin for damage.
Check whether the propeller is
installed properly.
Check the propeller for damage,
wear, or deformation.
Consult with your authorized Honda
outboard motor dealer for proper
propeller selection.
Engine speed varies according to the
propeller size and the boat condition.
Use of the outboard motor outside
the full throttle speed range will
adversely affect the engine and cause
a serious problem. Use of the correct
propeller assures powerful
acceleration, top speed, excellency in
terms of economy and cruising
comfort, and it assures longer engine
life as well.
