4. propulsion sYsTeM
Your boat is equipped with a stern drive type
propulsion system also known as an inboard-
outboard engine. (See Figure 2.2.2) This type of
propulsion system has the engine inside the boat
secured to the hull's stringers at the rear end of
the hull. The stern drive unit, also called the lower
unit because it hangs below the hull, is part of the
propulsion system that attaches to the outside of
the hull or transom. The stern drive unit pivots to
steer the boat.
For engine operating instructions, see page 3.4.

5. propellers
Your Baja
®
has been equipped with a propeller
which our tests have shown to be the best suited for
general use under normal conditions and load.
Under no circumstances use a propeller which
allows the engine to operate at higher than the
maximum RPM for your engine. (See the Engine
Operator's Manual.)
