when selecting a propeller:
• Engine RPM must be within the recommended operating range. Refer to
the engine operator’s manual.
• Higher propeller pitch reduces: RPM, acceleration, engine noise, and
usually improves fuel economy and top speed.
• Lower propeller pitch increases: RPM, acceleration, engine noise,
reduces fuel economy and top speed.
• There are many different propeller designs for specific characteristics.
Do not attempt to change propellers until after you have a chance to
determine your average load and individual requirements. Your dealer is
best suited to help you select a propeller.
• A smaller pitch propeller should be selected for water skiing or for heavy
loads. A smaller pitch propeller will develop more thrust for raising
skiers quickly. When a skier has fallen, or a skier is not being towed, it is
important that the operator watch the tachometer to make sure engine
RPM does not continuously exceed the maximum full throttle RPM range.
Anchoring
When anchoring, it is helpful to keep a few guidelines in mind.
• Make sure the line is tied to the anchor.
• Tie the other end of the line to the forward cleat or bow eye.
• Head the boat into the wind or current over the spot where you want to
lower the anchor.
• Stop the boat before lowering the anchor.
• When the anchor hits bottom, slowly back up the boat, keeping tension
on the line. Let out an anchor line that is 4 to 6 times the depth of the
water. For example, if you are in 10 feet of water, let out 40 to 60 feet of
line.
• Check your position against
the shoreline. If you are
drifting, reset the anchor.
• Do not anchor from the bow
and stem at the same time.
