Resumen del manual
D. Bilge Blower(s) To prevent buildup of gasoline fumes to the explosive level in the engine compartment, the bilge blowers must be run for at least four (4) minutes before starting the engine and kept running at all times when the engine is running to insure that there will be adequate ventilation when you are moving slowly. The blowers may also remove deadly carbon monoxide (CO) which may be in the bilge. Run blowers when using the generator or engine. 2. Engines and Stern Drive A. Maintenance and Service Engine failure away from shore can be dangerous. You must follow the recommended maintenance schedule to best ensure trouble-free operation of your engine and stern drive. B. Vibration and Causes Some vibration is to be expected in your boat because of the action of the engines and the propeller. But excessive vibration indicates conditions which must be promptly corrected to avoid damage. The following are some conditions which may cause vibrations. • Weeds, ropes, fishing lines, nets or your own trailing lines can become wrapped around the propeller and/or shaft, causing vibration and loss of speed. Always stop the boat, make sure it is clear to the rear, and then reverse the propeller after going through a weedy area to unwrap and clear away any weeds which may have accumulated. If this doesn’t clear the entanglement, and you can’t anchor or moor the boat in shallow water to get to the stern drive in the water, the boat will have to be taken out of the water. • A badly damaged or distorted propeller or shaft is an obvious cause of vibration. Run at slow speed to shore. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY. • If the engine mounts fail and the engine can contact the hull while it is running, vibration will be felt. Run at slow speed to shore. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY. ! WARNING Explosion/Fire Hazard – Run blower at least four (4) minutes before starting engine or generator. Check bilge and engine compartment for fumes. ! WARNING Do not allow obstructions to interfere with bilge blower or ventilation intake operation. Engine performance may be adversely affected. Section 4 • Bilge & Underwater Gear C. Impact to Stern Drive The stern drive can be damaged by impact, either while trailering or boating. To minimize the possibility of impact damage while trailering, keep the stern drive raised to the trailering position. The hydraulic system used to raise and lower the stern drive can cushion impact and lessen damage from head-on impacts to the stern drive from underwater objects BUT ONLY when the boat is moving forward. There is no protection if the stern drive is struck during reverse operation or from an angle when moving forward. If you strike a submerged object, STOP THE ENGINE as soon as possible and examine the stern drive unit for damage. Even if no damage is visible, there could be internal problems or difficulty maneuvering. If you must use the boat after impact, run at the lowest speed possible. D. Propeller Removal and Installation a. Shut off engine, remove key, shift into neutral and put tape over ignition switch key slot. b. Straighten the bent tabs on the propeller nut retainer (Figure 4.3.1). c. Place a block of wood between the gear case and propeller to stop propeller from rotating and remove propeller nut (Figure 4.3.2). d. Remove the propeller nut retainer, the thrust hub and the continuity washer (Figure 4.3.3) and put them in a secure place. Pull the propeller straight off the shaft. Remove the thrust washer that is behind the propeller. If the propeller is seized to the shaft and cannot be removed by hand, special tools are needed. Have the propeller removed by an authorized dealer or trained mechanic. e. Coat the propeller shaft with an anti-seize lubricant (Figure 4.3.4).

Install the thrust washer, propeller, continuity washer, thrust hub, propeller nut retainer and the propeller nut onto the shaft (Figure 4.3.3). g. Place a block of wood between the gear case and the propeller (Figure 4.4.1) and torque the propeller nut to recommended manufacturer’s specifications. The correct propeller nut torque is given in your Engine Operator’s Manual in the Owner’s Manual Packet. h. Secure the propeller nut by bending three (3) of the tabs of the propeller nut retainer into the thrust hub grooves (Figure 4.4.2).
