A) Take the propeller apart – note that there are two allen screws (7,8) that lock
each of the blade pins (3) in place. Note that the blades, pins and hub are all
marked carefully so as to re-assemble in the correct location.

B) Check that the hub (1),fits onto the output shaft of the saildrive leg.
The hub has a matching spline and so simply slide it on. Check that the shaft
nut (5),threads on to the end of the output shaft

C) Ensure that the washer (supplied with the saildrive unit) is in place at the fwd
end of the output shaft. Now grease the output shaft on the saildrive with
some water resistant grease and slide the hub back on.

D) Install the shaft nut (5), onto the shaft and tighten to 65-72 ft/lbs - 88-97nm. Now smear
some loctite (12) onto the threads of the lock bolt (9). Place the washer (4)
in place and tighten the lock bolt (9) to 10-11ft/lbs - 13 -15nm, into the output shaft.
On older saildrive models there may be holes drilled through the male thread
area at the end of the shaft. If so then align these holes with the holes on the
lock bolt (9) and insert the split pin (6) and bend over.

E) Grease the moving parts of the blades (2) and re-assemble the blades with
the pins (3). Be careful to place pins, blades and hub in the same numbered
locations.

F) Apply locktie (12), to the allen screws (7,8), screw them tightly into the holes
at the aft end of the propeller hub. Be sure that the blade pins (3) are smooth
and neat on the ourtside of the hub…this will ensure that the allen screws
have seated themselves into the dimple on the pin. Remember there are 2
per blade pin.

G) Check that the blades will operate freely in all directions from open to closed.

WARNING:
• Do not start the engine while the boat is out of the water
• The prop may have sharp edges… be careful not to cut yourself
• Make sure the blades do not open or close suddenly and trap your fingers
• Stop the engine before diving or swimming in the vicinity of the boat
• Propeller blades can cause considerable damage when rotating … be careful.
• Do not remove fish nets, rope or similar from the prop with the engine running.
• Check that the prop works in both fwd and reverse before each trip. If any strange sounds or vibrations are noticed coming from the propeller stop the engine and investigate the reasons/solve the problem.
