PROPELLER REPLACEMENT:

peller.
• Hold the propeller and loosen the prop nut with a pliers
or a wrench.

broken, you will need to hold the shaft steady with a
screwdriver blade pressed into the slot on the end of the
shaft.
• Turn the old prop to horizontal ( as illustrated ) and pull it
straight off. If drive pin falls out, push it back in.
• Align new propeller with drive pin.
• Install prop washer and prop nut.

careful, over tightening can damage prop.

MAXIMIZER™:
The built-in Maximizer’s electronics create
pulse width modulation to provide longer run-
ning time and extended battery life. With the
Maximizer speed control, you may, in some
applications, experience interference in your
depth finder display. We recommend that you
use a separate deep cycle marine battery for
your trolling motor and that you power the
depth finder from the starting / cranking bat-
tery. If problems still persist, call our service
department at 1-800-227-6433.
