Inspection
Carefully examine propeller and outboard for the
following:
• Damaged blades and signs of propeller cavita-
tion (burned paint, etc.)
• Spun or overheated inner hub
• Worn or twisted splines and inadequate lubri-
cant
• Damaged or missing converging ring (if applica-
ble)
• Damage to outer hub area
• Worn, missing, or incorrect thrust washer and
spacer
• Correct size and style
• Check for bent or damaged propeller shaft and
twisted splines.
Refer to Propeller Hardware Installation on
p. 74.
SHIFT INTERRUPT
SWITCH
IMPORTANT: The shift interrupt switch signal is
not utilized on 60°V4 or 60°V6 Evinrude ETEC
models. Low idle speeds do not require shift inter-
rupt function. The shift switch function is used on
V4 models when an accessory tiller conversion kit
is added. Refer to tiller handle kit installation
instructions for details.
The shift interrupt switch is in contact with the shift
lever (positioned at the base of the powerhead).
The switch is normally open and activates
momentarily as the shift linkage moves.
Excessive shift loads activate the switch. Typically
the switch is depressed when the linkage moves
from the FORWARD or REVERSE position into
the NEUTRAL position.
WARNING
When servicing the propeller, always shift
the outboard to NEUTRAL, turn the key
switch OFF, and disconnect the battery
positive (+) cable so the outboard cannot
be started accidentally.
