Installing propeller
WARNING
EWM00770
On counter rotation models, be sure to
use a propeller intended for counterclock-
wise rotation. These propellers are identi-
fied with the letter “L” after the size
indication on the propeller. Otherwise the
boat could move in the opposite direction
from that expected.
NOTICE
ECM00501
Make sure to use a new cotter pin and
bend the ends over securely. Otherwise,
the propeller could come off during opera-
tion and be lost.
1. Apply Yamaha marine grease or a corro-
sion resistant grease to the propeller
shaft.
2. Install the thrust washer, spacer (if
equipped), and propeller on the propeller
shaft. NOTICE: Make sure to install the
thrust washer before installing the
propeller. Otherwise, the lower case
and propeller boss could be damaged.

3. Install the spacer, washer, and propeller
nut. Tighten the propeller nut to the spec-
ified torque.
