Before servicing propeller, be sure the engine is in neutral with ignition off or disconnected to avoid any possibility of the engine starting and causing injury. Do not install any propeller without a thrust washer in place. If a thrust washer is not used, severe damage could occur to the propeller and/or engine drive. Rotate prop in neutral by hand to make sure the prop rotates freely in full cycle. (If you have any questions, please contact your Dealer or call our Customer Service Department.)
For Evinrude® and Johnson® outboards: (please omit #12035 washer.)1) Make sure your OEM thrust washer is in place. Clean and grease the splines of the prop shaft. (Any marine grade grease is acceptable.)
2) Slide HUB ASSEMBLY into PROPELLER HOUSING from the front.
3) Slide the PROPELLER ASSEMBLY on the prop shaft.
4) Slide the PROP NUT SPACER #12050 and OEM SPACER onto the propeller assembly before prop nut.
5) Tighten prop nut according to your Engine Owner’s Manual for proper prop nut torque and fit specifications.
