Before inspecting, removing or installing the propeller, always take actions to ensure the
enginewill not accidentally starts, such as removing the spark plug caps from the spark plugs,
placing the shift control in neutral, and removing the lanyard from the engine stop switch, etc..
Serious accident could occur if the engine starts when you are nearby.
Do not use your hand to hold the propeller when loosening or tightening the propeller nut.. Put
a wood block between the anti-cavitation plate and the propeller to prevent the propeller from
turning.
1. Check each of the propeller blades for wear, erosion from cavitation or ventilation, or other damage.
2. Check the propeller shaft for damage.
3. Check the splines/shear pin for wear or damage.
4. Check for fish line tangled around the propeller shaft.
