Your Yamaha dealer can help you select the
right propeller for your boating needs. Select
a propeller that will allow the engine to reach
the middle or upper half of the operating
range at full throttle with the maximum boat-
load. Generally, chose a larger pitch propel-
ler for a smaller operating load and a smaller
pitch propeller for a heavier load. If you carry
loads that vary widely, chose the propeller
that lets the engine run in the proper range
for your maximum load but remember that
you may need to reduce your throttle setting
to stay within the recommended engine
speed range when carrying lighter loads.
For instructions on propeller removal and in-
stallation, see page 68.
