CAUTION
Selection of the wrong propeller could reduce engine service life, affect boat performance, or cause serious damage to the powerheadWater testing with various propeller designs and sizes is the best method of propeller selectionThe correct propeller, under normal load conditions, will allow the engine to run near the midpoint of the RPM operating range at full throttleRefer to TECHNICAL DATA on p18
