NOTICE
Use caution in cleaning around stitching, wood or other decorative trim.
since solvents could seriously damage these materials.
TEAK SWIM PLATFORM
If your Tigé boat is equipped with a teak swim platform, keep the teak in top
condition by cleaning it with a teak cleaner occasionally and re-oiling it at
least once a season. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings
carefully. Some cleaners and oils can damage gelcoat, vinyl, stainless and
aluminum. DO NOT use steel wool pads when cleaning.
NOTICE
Teak sealers and cleaners can be harmful to other materials. Thoroughly
clean up any spills or excess. DO NOT varnish teak. The natural oils in
teak will prevent adhesion.
PROPELLER
WARNING
CUT HAZARD
A propeller can be sharp and can cause death or serious injury. Wear a
pair of protective gloves when handling any propeller. Prevent accidental
starting of the engine by:
• Removing key from the ignition.
• Removing emergency stop switch clip from the switch.
DO NOT reuse the nylon locknut or the cotter pin, or use a damaged
propeller. A damaged propeller can damage your engine and boat.
To remove:
1. Remove the cotter pin from the propeller shaft and discard.
2. Wedge a piece of 1" x 4" wood between the propeller blade and the
port side of the strut and rudder.
3. Remove the nylon locknut and discard.
Use a propeller puller to remove the propeller and then remove the key from
the keyway. Make sure the keyway in the propeller and on the shaft are free
of any damage.
See your Tigé dealer for service to ensure the prop has been removed
properly and that the shaft seal has not been damaged.
To install:
Look at the keyway on the shaft and in the propeller and make sure the key
slides freely in the propeller keyway and shaft keyway. If the key has burrs,
remove them by filing the flat sides or replace the key. DO NOT file the key
beyond its normal shape or size.
1. Rotate the shaft until the keyway is up.
2. Place the key in the shaft keyway. Rotate the propeller so the keyway
in the propeller is aligned with the keyway on the shaft. The propeller
will only slip on in one direction. Once everything is aligned, push the
propeller solidly onto the shaft and make sure the propeller is seated.
3. Wedge a piece of 1" x 4" wood between the propeller blade and the
starboard side of the strut and rudder.
4. Install a new nylon locknut and torque the nut to maximum of 30 ft-lbs
(40.7 N·m).
5. Install a new cotter pin and bend the retaining ends of the cotter pin in
opposite directions.
