portant purchasing decisions a boater can
make. The type, size, and design of your
pro- peller have a direct impact on
acceleration, top speed, fuel economy, and
even engine life. Hidea designs and
manufactures pro- pellers for every Hidea
outboard motor and every application.
Your outboard motor came with a Hidea
propeller selected to perform well over a
range of applications, but there may be
uses where a different propeller would be
more appropriate.
Your Hidea dealer can help you select the
right propeller for your boating needs.
Select a propeller that will allow the engine
to reach the middle or upper half of the
operating range at full throttle with the
maximum boat- load. Generally, select a
larger pitch propel- ler for a smaller
operating load and a smaller pitch propeller
for a heavier load. If you carry loads that
vary widely, select the propeller that lets the
engine run in the proper range for your
maximum load but remember that you may
need to reduce your throttle setting to stay
within the recommended engine speed
range when carrying lighter loads.
To check the propeller, see page 81.

Hidea outboard motors or Hidea-ap- proved

in-gear protection device(s). This feature
permits the engine to be started only when
it is in neutral. Always select neutral before
starting the engine.
