Removal Installation
Install the thrust washer with the
grooved side toward the gear case.
Use a genuine Honda cotter pin.
Before replacing the propeller,
remove the clip from the engine stop
switch to prevent any possibility of
the engine being started while you
are working with the propeller.
The propeller blades may have sharp
edges, so wear heavy gloves to
protect your hands.
Remove the cotter pin, unscrew the
castle nut, remove the washer, then
remove the propeller and thrust
washer.
Operating the outboard motor at
higher altitudes will reduce available
power. This may require decreasing
the propeller pitch to maintain correct
engine RPM.
Install the propeller in the reverse
order of removal.
