Recommendations
• If the propeller keeps on turning while sailing, this means that the
forward gear is not engaged and you should therefore engage it.
• Never allow the propeller to turn freely while sailing.
• During normal engine use, always wait several seconds to allow
the engine revs to drop to idling speed before changing gear.
Changing gear too abruptly can in fact damage the propeller and
engine mechanisms.
• Always consult the Manufacturer’s technicians before changing
the propeller pitch, regardless of whether it is a fixed or folding
propeller (Opt): an incorrect pitch can strain or damage the engine.
Maintenance
Always consult the manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual
