Propeller
The propeller must be cleaned and greased once
yearly. Remove the propeller and clean all parts thor-
oughly. Brush water resistant grease on the propeller
blade cogs and bearing surfaces so that the propeller
folds easily. Also brush water resistant grease on pins,
spacer sleeves (stern drive), propeller shaft and in the
propeller hub.
WARNING!
Make sure the engine can not start during work on pro-
peller(s); remove ignition key(s) and shift drive into for-
ward or reverse.

2 Disassemble the propeller blades by screwing out
the lock screws (4) completely and then pressing
out the pins (1).

Installation
1 Install the spacer sleeve (stern drive) and the pro-
peller hub onto the shaft.
