Propeller
Propeller Care
A damaged or unbalanced propeller will cause exces-
sive vibration and a loss of boat speed. Under these
conditions, stop the engine and check the propeller for
damage. If the propeller appears damaged, have it
checked by your Volvo Penta dealer. Always carry a
spare propeller and replace the damaged propeller as
soon as possible.
A rubber hub in the propeller is the shock absorber that
minimizes damage to drive units and engines. If the
rubber hub should begin to slip, it can be easily
replaced at an authorized Volvo Penta dealer or pro-
peller shop.
WARNING!
Protect your hands from the sharp edges of the pro-
peller blades. Wear gloves whenever you remove or
replace a propeller. Do not attempt to hold propellers
by hand when you remove or install propellers and
propeller nuts. Serious injury could result.
NOTICE!
Never continuously run with a damaged pro-
peller. Running with a damaged propeller can result in
drive unit and engine damage.
NOTICE!
Propellers must be removed and the shaft
re-greased according to the frequency provided in the
maintenance schedule or removal (in emergency sit-
uations while in the water) will be very difficult or impos-
sible.
