The engine options available for your boat have
been selected as the best suited for general use
for this size boat. Do not install an engine larger
than the largest option available. Your boat will be
difcult to handle and will be less stable.
Your Baja
®
has been equipped with a propeller which
our tests have shown to be the best suited for general
use with your engine under normal conditions and
load. Do not change the pitch of your propeller
without getting your dealer's recommendations rst.
If you change to a different propeller pitch, under
no circumstances use a propeller which allows the
engine to operate at higher than recommended
RPM. (Your engine manual species the maximum
recommended RPM.)
To maintain rated power, propellers should be
free of nicks, excessive pitting and any distortions
that alter them from their original design. Badly
damaged propellers should be replaced, but those
that are chipped, bent or merely out of shape can
be reconditioned by your marine dealer.
It is advisable to carry an extra propeller aboard in
case you damage the one in use.
