Propeller selection
Next to selecting an outboard motor, select-

-
ing the right propeller is one of the most im-
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 85.
