Propeller Selection
IMPORTANT: To prevent the propeller hub from corroding and
seizing to the propeller shaft (especially in saltwater), always apply
a coat of the recommended lubricant to the entire propeller shaft
at the recommended maintenance intervals, and also each time
the propeller is removed.
A propeller must be selected so that the engine RPM measured at
wide open throttle while cruising is within the recommended range.
40 5000–5700 RPM
50 5150–5850 RPM
Lower numbers indicates heavier load and higher numbers
indicates lighter load
