Tige 2015 ASR, Owner'S Manual

Page: 88 / 111

To install:
Look at the keyway on the shaft and in the propeller and
make sure the key slides freely in the propeller keyway and
shaft keyway. If the key has burrs, remove them by filing
the flat sides or replace the key. DO NOT file the key beyond
its normal shape or size.
1. Rotate the shaft until the keyway is up.
2. Place the key in the shaft keyway. Rotate the propeller
so the keyway in the propeller is aligned with the keyway
on the shaft. The propeller will only slip on in one direction.
Once everything is aligned, push the propeller solidly onto
the shaft and make sure the propeller is seated.
3. Wedge a piece of 1” x 4” wood between the propeller
blade and the starboard side of the strut and rudder.
4. Install a new nylon locknut and torque the nut to
maximum of 30 ft-lbs (40.7 N·m).
5. Install a new cotter pin and bend the retaining ends of
the cotter pin in opposite directions.
SALTWATER BOATING
Tigé offers an optional freshwater flush kit. The Tigé
freshwater flush kit has a relief valve to prevent excess water
pressure to your engine. Excess water pressure can damage
the engine. This is the only system Tigé recommends.
Running the boat in fresh water is another good way to
flush the engine, but it must be done immediately.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Use care when connecting or disconnecting a battery
charger. Make sure the charger is turned OFF and unplugged
from power source when you clip ON/OFF the connecting clamps.
Make sure the connection is solid with the charging clamps.
Poor connections are common causes of electrical arcs,
engine problems and errant signals to the engine’s ECM.
DO NOT make or break electrical circuits at the battery
terminals; a spark will occur when a circuit is live and
opened or made. Turn off all components.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer to check the battery
