Installation
Removal
Install the thrust washer with the
grooved side toward the gear case.
Use a genuine Honda cotter pin
and bend the pin ends as shown.
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.
Apply marine-grade grease to the
propeller shaft and beveled surface
of the thrust washer.
Install the propeller in the reverse
order of removal.
Operating the outboard motor at
higher altitudes will reduce available
power. This may require decreasing
the propeller pitch to maintain correct
engine RPM.
Remove the cotter pin, unscrew
the castle nut, remove the washer,
then remove the propeller and
thrust washer.
Inspect the propeller shaft for any
fishing line or debris.
