Please read these instructions prior to installing your new propeller.

A) Take the propeller apart – note that there are 2 x allen screws (6,7) that lock each of the blade pins (3) in place. Note that the blades, pins and hub are marked for re-assembly.
B) Check that the hub fits the shaft taper without interference from the key. To do this first slide the hub onto the shaft without the key in place and mark the shaft at the fwd end of the propeller hub. Now place the key into the keyway and slide the hub back onto the shaft. It should come to the same mark that you had made before. If not then file the key until the hub reaches the shaft mark.
C) Check the nut on the shaft thread.
D) Mount the hub on the shaft and tighten the nut (4) to the shaft to 70ft/lb-95nm.
E) Install the allen screw (5) into the hub to lock the shaft nut. Do this by first smearing the threads with the enclosed Loctite–243. Tighten the screw in place using the allen key supplied.
F) Grease the moving parts of the blades-gears- with water resistant grease. Mount the blades (2) and the pins (3) to the hub. Be sure that you mount them in accordance to their numbers. ie #1 and #2.
G) Install allen screws (6,7) into aft end of hub using Loctite -243, on the threads. The second screw is a locking screw. Be sure to tighten both in place.
H) Check that the blades move freely from open to close.

WARNING:
• Do not start the engine while the boat is out of the water
• The prop may have sharp edges… be careful not to cut yourself
• Make sure the blades do not open or close suddenly and trap your fingers
• Stop the engine before diving or swimming in the vicinity of the boat
• Propeller blades can cause considerable damage when rotating … be careful.
• Do not remove fish nets, rope or similar from the prop with the engine running.
• Check that the prop works in both fwd and reverse before each trip. If any strange sounds or vibrations are noticed coming from the propeller stop the engine and investigate the reasons/solve the problem.
