ening the anode/nut can damage the
prop.
NNOOTTEE::
The weedless wedge propeller is designed to provide
absolute weed free operation with very high efficiency. To
maintain top performance, the leading edge of the blades
must be kept smooth. If this edge is rough or nicked,
restore to smooth by sanding with fine sandpaper.
