X INSTALLATION AND ACCESSORIES
INSTALLING THE OUTBOARD
IMPORTANT: Follow all directions carefully.
The outboard’s warranty will not cover prod-
uct damage or failure that results from incor-
rect outboard installation.
Refer to Priming the Oil System on page 17.
Then perform Long-Term Storage (Winter-
ization) on page 41 to prime the oiling sys-
tem.
PROPELLER
Propeller Selection
To select the correct propeller for your boating
application, your boat and outboard MUST be
water tested. See your Dealer for assistance.
IMPORTANT: The correct propeller for your
boat, under normal load conditions, will allow
the engine to run near the midpoint of the
RPM operating range at full throttle. Refer to
Specifications on page 53.
IMPORTANT: Apply Triple-Guard grease to
the entire propeller shaft before installing the
propeller. At least annually, remove the pro-
peller and check for debris. Clean the shaft
and regrease it before reinstalling a propeller.
Standard vs. Counter Rotation
Right-hand propellers are considered stan-
dard rotation propellers. When propelling a
boat forward, the propeller rotates in a right-
hand (clockwise) direction as viewed from the
rear.
Left-hand propellers are considered counter
rotation propellers. When propelling a boat
forward, the propeller rotates in a left-hand
(counterclockwise) direction as viewed from
the rear.
1. Right-Hand (clockwise)
2. Left-Hand (counterclockwise)
Installation
Slide thrust washer onto shaft with shoulder
facing aft.
Slide propeller onto shaft, engaging the
splines and seating it on the thrust bushing.
Slide spacer onto the shaft and engage the
propeller shaft splines.
Wedge a block of wood between the propeller
blade and the anti-ventilation plate.
WARNING
The outboard must be correctly
installed. Failure to correctly install
the outboard could result in serious
injury, death or property damage. We
strongly recommend that your
Dealer install your outboard to
ensure proper installation.
WARNING
Be alert of people in the water. Always
shift the outboard to NEUTRAL and shut
off the engine immediately when your
boat is in an area where there might be
people in the water. Serious injury or
death can result from contacting a rotat-
ing propeller or moving boat and out-
board.
WARNING
When servicing the propeller, always
shift the outboard to NEUTRAL position,
turn the key switch OFF, and twist and
remove all spark plug wires so the out-
board cannot be started accidentally.
WARNING
In dual-outboard installations, check to
make sure correct propellers are
installed on each outboard before
aggressively operating your boat. Shift
each engine individually into FORWARD
or REVERSE, at idle speed only. If the
boat moves opposite the direction indi-
cated by the remote control handle, the
wrong propeller has been installed on
the outboard being checked.
