Item Maintenance Notes and precautions
Propellers Periodical checks The propellers check must be carried out according to the stationary waters. Checking and
eventual cleaning may be carried out with the yacht in a dry shore or with the help of a diver.
Check that the propeller paddles do not show notches or breaks, scales or barnacles, which
may have a negative influence on the yacht output while sailing.
If you find traces of corrosion you must check the condition of the anodes and, for heavy
irregularities, replace the propeller.
Assembly/disassembly The propellers, the starboard and port one, are not interchangeable between them and with
others, as they have been projected according to specific features of Your yacht.
Replace only with genuine spare parts supplied by BERTRAM Customer Support.
