When Underway
If the boat begins to operate in an unsafe way, pull back
on the throttle. Monitor the gauges when operating at
full throttle.
As the boat begins to get on plane, acceleration will
increase since less boat will be in the water.
High-speed operation on smooth water is very stable, but
quick reactions and adjustments are needed to maintain
control. Know your limits and stay within them. Always
keep one hand on the steering wheel and the other on
the throttle; constant adjustments are necessary for rapidly
changing conditions. Small inputs of throttle and steering
are exaggerated at high speeds. Depending on the speed,
keep watch well ahead so that you may have enough time
to react.
PROPELLERS
OPERATION
SECTION 4
4-25
The propeller converts the engine’s power into the thrust
needed to propel the boat. Care and selection of your
propeller is very important to proper boat operation.
Propellers are identified by two numbers, such as 13 x 19.
In the number sequence, the first number is the diameter
of the propeller and the second is the pitch.
Pitch is the angle of the blades expressed in the theoretical
distance a propeller travels in each revolution. In the above
example, the pitch is 19, or each revolution of the propeller
pushes the boat 19 in. (483 mm) through the water. A
19 pitch is considered “higher” pitched and a 15 pitch
propeller is considered “lower” pitched.
Your Tigé boat is already equipped with the proper propeller
to achieve maximum performance with an average load,
for your boat. If you have questions, see your Tigé Dealer.
Keep these guidelines in mind when selecting a propeller:
Engine RPM must be within the recommended operating
range. Refer to the engine owner’s manual.
Higher propeller pitch reduces: RPM, acceleration and
engine noise, and usually improves fuel economy and top speed.
Lower propeller pitch increases: RPM, acceleration and
engine noise, and reduces fuel economy and top speed.
Refer to Section 7, CARE AND MAINTENANCE, Propeller,
for information on removal and installation.
