1.6 Propellers
The propellers convert the power of the
engines into thrust. Propellers vary in style,
diameters and pitch. The best set for your
needs will depend on your application and
expected average load. Propeller sizes are
identified by two numbers stamped on the
prop in sequence; the first is the diameter and
the second is the pitch (example 14 x 21).
Pitch is the theoretical distance the propeller
will travel in one rotation.
Repair or replace a propeller immediately if it
has been damaged. A damaged propeller can
cause vibration that can be felt in the boat
and can damage the engine gear case. Refer
to the engine owner’s manual for information
on propeller removal and installation.
1.7 Engine Instrumentation
The helm is equipped with two multi-function
displays (MFDs).The MFDs allow the oper -
ator to monitor all engine functions (includ-
ing fuel level and engine trim), operate the
engines most efficiently, and pr event serious
costly damage. The exact instrumentation
is unique to the type of outboard engines
installed on your boat. Refer to your engine
package owner’s manuals for more informa-
tion.
Your boat is equipped with a monitoring dis-
play supplied by the manufacturer of your
engine package. Refer to the engine owner’s
manual for more information.

DO NOT exceed maximum recom-
mended engine RPM. Exceeding,
maintaining or coming close to main-
taining maximum RPM can reduce
engine life.
NOTICE
!
Continued operation of an overheated
engine will cause severe engine dam-
age. If the engine overheats, shut off
the engine, investigate the problem,
and correct it.
CAUTION
!
If an engine alarm sounds, shut off the
engine, investigate the problem and
correct it.
