4.3 PROPELLER SELECTION
Propeller selection plays a key role in overall vessel performance and fuel consumption. Always consult
an authorized Cox Powertrain dealer for propeller recommendations for a new or re-power installation,
or if your outboard(s) operate outside the propping speed range at maximum power. The propping speed
range should be met with a representative vessel loading.
If experiencing powerhead over-speed and over-heating at the maximum power, please contact an
authorized Cox Powertrain dealer for assistance.
WARNING
This outboard must be correctly configured for
right or left-handed propeller rotation in
accordance with the installed propeller. Prior
to working near a propeller, ensure the
outboard(s) is(are) stopped and the battery
cut-off switch is in the isolated position.
WARNING
The propeller’s sharp edges can cause severe
injury or death. Use the appropriate personal
safety equipment whenever handling the
propeller.
NOTE
The control system will display a warning alarm and reduce performance as a protection measure if
the outboard(s) repeatedly reaches its RPM limit, for instance as a result of incorrect propeller
matching.
NOTE
Whenever the propeller is changed, the powerhead speed at maximum power with minimum vessel
loading must be confirmed to be within the propping speed range.
CAUTION
Running an incorrectly matched propeller for
extended periods of time will affect your
outboard’s performance and longevity and
will increase fuel consumption.
WARNING
This outboard is designed to be used
exclusively with a damped rubber hub. Never
use a solid propeller hub as this will lead to the
failure of the drive system of your outboard(s).
If your outboard(s) does(do) not attain the propping speed range at full control lever travel, please contact
an authorized Cox Powertrain dealer for assistance.
