You could be seriously injured if the en-
gine accidentally starts when you are
near the propeller.

Before inspecting, removing, or install-
ing the propeller, remove the spark
plug caps from the spark plugs. Also,
place the shift control in neutral, turn
the main switch to “

from the engine shut-off switch. Turn
off the battery cut-off switch if your
boat has one.

Do not use your hand to hold the pro-
peller when loosening or tightening the
propeller nut. Put a wood block be-
tween the anti-cavitation plate and the
propeller to prevent the propeller from
