INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE: At least once a year, more often if you
use your boat extensively, remove the propeller from your outboard or 1-0
and inspect shaft seal for possible damage from mono-filament fishing line
and, on certain older models, drive pin hole for possible burrs. Clean and
lubricate the shaft according to engine manufacturer instructions. Replace
drive pin if bent or worn. Replace the prop using a new cotter pin or tab lock
washer. Follow manufacturer instructions for care and maintenance of gear
case.
