Propulsion System
Your boat was shipped with propellers that typi-
cally provide optimum performance for your boat.
However there are factors that can affect perfor-
mance and propeller requirements.
Some are as follows:
• You should be sure the load conditions are
those normally experienced. If the boat ran
in the required RPM range when it was new
and you have not added any additional gear
or heavy equipment and have not damaged
the propellers, there is a good chance the
propellers are not the problem.
• The addition of heavy equipment like a tower,
life rafts, additional coolers, etc., will cause
additional load on the engines. Consequently,
different propellers may be required.
• Boats operated at high altitudes (above 2000
feet). Engines operated at high altitudes will
not be able to develop as much horsepower
as they do at or near sea level. Consequently,
different propellers may be required.
Notice:
Outboard engines can be damaged and the
warranty voided if the boat is not propped
correctly. Always consult your Everglades
dealer or authorized engine service dealer
when making changes to the propellers or
if the boat does not run near the top recom-
mended RPM.
