You could be seriously injured if the en-
gine accidentally starts when you are near
the propeller. Before inspecting, remov-
ing, or installing the propeller, place the
shift control in neutral, turn the main
switch to “ ” (off) and remove the key,
and remove the clip from the engine shut-
off switch. Turn off the battery cut-off
switch if your boat has one.
Do not use your hand to hold the propeller
when loosening or tightening the propeller
nut. Put a wood block between the anti-cavi-
tation plate and the propeller to prevent the
propeller from turning.

sion from cavitation or ventilation, or other
damage.
Check the propeller shaft for damage.
