PITCH ADJUSTMENT „RH“
GERNAL:
The pitch adjustment is very simple on the VARIPROP, and can be done in or out of the water in
a matter of few minutes. It is not necessary to pull the propeller from the shaft.
Propeller in the drawing below is for a
right hand
rotation
RH.
NOTE:
It is quite possible to set the pitch
continuously variable and independently
for forward and reverse. The turning of the
adjusting screws (2) & (4) by quarter a
revolution (90°) changes the pitch
approx. 1,5“. This will change the engine
revolution by approx. 150.
ATTENTION:
Never remove the set
screws of the shock absorber !!
