Selection of propeller
The performance of the outboard motor is seriously affected by the propeller. Improper
selection will have adverse effects on the motor. When the ship runs in full load, the motor will
operate at low speed for a long time. At this time, the propeller with smaller pitch should be selected,
whereas the propeller with larger pitch should be selected to maintain the normal operation of the
engine.
When the engine is at maximum load, if the throttle is half or more of the full throttle range,
the selected propeller is appropriate.
