Remove and install a propeller on an inboard and inboard/outboard engine.

Removal and installation should reflect an understanding of the relationships between pitch, diameter, cavitation, ventilation, and blade configuration. It should also include

• inspecting the hub for damage
• ensuring that a cotter pin secures the propeller nut
• following manufacturer instructions and procedures.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What procedures should be followed to remove and install a propeller on different outboard motor systems? Inboard/outboard motor systems?
• What is the relationship between pitch, diameter, cavitation, ventilation, and blade configuration?
