FUEL FILLING

furnace.

PROPELLER: 18 inch 3-blade folding (flex-o-fold).
!
Put engine in reverse to fold propeller while under sail (don’t forget to take
out of gear before starting!).
!
Propeller rotation: Left-hand (CCW in fwd when viewed from astern.)
!
Prop walk: Stern swings to starboard in reverse. Prop walk is minimal
because the saildrive places the prop further forward, provides more clearance
from the hull, and provides a truly horizontal axis of rotation.
