Removing and installing
The propeller shaft should be smeared with a water re-
sistant grease once a year.
1.
Set the control lever in the neutral position. Re-
move the split pin (1) and the locking tab washer (2).
2.
Put a wooden block between the propeller blade
and the cavitation plate.
3.
Remove the nut (3), spacer (4), propeller (5) and
the bushing (6).
4.
Grease the propeller shaft using water repellant
grease.
5.
Install the bushing (6) with the inner cone turned
toward the propeller shaft cone.
6.
Install the propeller (5). Press the propeller against
the bushing until the spline edges can be seen and
install the spacer (4) on the splines.
7.
Put a wooden block between one propeller blade
and the cavitation plate. Install the nut (3) and
tighten using a torque of 96-108 Nm.
8.
Install the locking tab washer (2) so the split pin
can be inserted in the hole on the shaft. Install
split pin (1).
IMPORTANT!
Always use a new split pin, do not
reuse the old one.
Propellers
For best performance and fuel economy the engine speed should be within the maximum RPM range, please refer
to
“
Operation; Cruising speed
”
. If the engine speed at maximum RPM falls outside the max. RPM range then the
propeller should be changed.
Ask your Volvo Penta dealership for advice if you wish to change to a propeller with another pitch or diameter.
For twin installations one propeller must be right rotating and the other left rotating. Both should have the same
pitch and diameter.
WARNING!
Make it impossible to start the engine when working on the propellers. Take the starter key out
of the starter switch.
IMPORTANT!
Damaged propellers should be replaced immediately. Operating the boat with a damaged pro-
peller should be undertaken with extreme care and only at reduced engine speeds.
