Propeller Replacement
!
WARNING
If the propeller shaft is rotated while the engine is in gear, there is the
possibility that the engine will crank over and start. To prevent this type
of accidental engine starting and possible serious injury caused from
being struck by a rotating propeller, always shift outboard to neutral
position and remove spark plug leads when you are servicing the
propeller.
1. Remove the spark plug lead to prevent engine from starting.
