3.8 Checking propeller
WARNING:
z Before inspecting, removing or installing the propeller, always take actions to ensure the
engine does not accidentally start, such as removing the spark plug caps from the spark
plugs, placing the shift control in neutral, and removing the lanyard from the engine stop
switch, etc.. Serious injury can occur if the engine should start and you are standing too
closeto the propeller.
z Do not use your hand to hold the propeller when loosening or tightening the propeller nut.
Put a wood block between the anti-cavitation plate and the propeller to prevent the propeller
from turning.
1. Check each of the propeller blades for wear, erosion from cavitation or ventilation, or other damage.
2. Check the propeller shaft for damage.
