SAFETY
1 - 1 INTRODUCTION
Your boat probably represents a sizeable
investment for you. In order to protect this
investment and to receive the maximum
amount of enjoyment from your boat it must
be cared for properly while being used and
when it is out of the water. Always store
your boat with the bow higher than the stern
and be sure to remove the transom drain
plug and the inner hull drain plugs. If you
use any type of cover to protect your boat,
plastic, canvas, whatever, be sure to allow
for some movement of air through the hull.
Proper ventilation will assure evaporation of
any condensation that may form due to
changes in temperature and humidity.
1 - 2 CLEANING, WAXING, AND POLISHING
An outboard boat should be washed with
clear water after each use to remove sur -
face dirt and any salt deposits from use in
salt water. Regular rinsing will extend the
time between waxing and polishing. It will
also give you " pride of ownership " , by
having a sharp looking piece of equipment.
Elbow grease, a mild detergent, and a brush
Whenever the boat is stored, for long or short
periods, the bow should be slightly higher than the stern
and the drain plug in the transom removed to ensure
proper drainage of rain water.
will be required to remove stubborn dirt, oil,
and other unsightly deposits.
Stay away from harsh abrasives or strong
chemical cleaners. A white buffing com -
pound can be used to restore the original
gloss to a scratched, dull, or faded area.
The finish of your boat should be thoroughly
cleaned, buffed, and polished at least once
each season. Take care when buffing or
polishing with a marine cleaner not to over -
heat the surface you are working, because
you will burn it.
A small outboard engine mounted on an
aluminum boat should be removed from the
boat and stored separately. Under all cir -
cumstances, any outboard engine must AL -
WAYS be stored with the powerhead higher
than the lower unit and exhaust system.
This position will prevent water trapped in
the lower unit from draining back through
the exhaust ports into the powerhead.
Lower unit badly corroded because the zinc was not
replaced. Once the zinc is destroyed, more costly parts
will be damaged. Attention to the zinc condition is
extremely important during boat operation in salt
water.

I--2 SAFETY
A new zinc prior to installation. This inexpensive
item will save corrosion on more valuable parts.
Most outboard engines have a flat area
on the back side of the powerhead. When
the engine is placed with the flat area on
the powerhead and the lower unit resting on
the floor, the engine will be in the proper
altitude with the powerhead higher than the
lower unit.
1 - 3 CONTROLLING CORROSION
Since man first started out on the water,
corrosion on his craft has been his enemy.
The first form was merely rot in the wood
and then it was rust, followed by other
forms of destructive corrosion in the more
modern materials. One defense against cor -
rosion is to use similar metals throughout
the boat. Even though this is difficult to do
in designing a new boat, particularily the
undersides, similar metals should be used
whenever and wherever possible.
A second defense against corrosion is to
insulate dissimilar metals. This can be done
by using an exterior coating of Sea Skin or
by insulating them with plastic or rubber
gaskets.
Using Zinc
The proper amount of zinc attached to a
boat is extremely important. The use of too
much zinc can cause wood burning by plac -
ing the metals close together and they be -
come " hot " . On the other hand, using too
Diameter and pitch are the two basic dimensions of
a propeller. The diameter is measured across the
circumference of a circle scribed by the propeller
blades, as shown.
small a zinc plate will cause more rapid
deterioration of the metal you. are trying to
protect. If in doubt, consider the fact that
is is far better to replace the zincs than to
replace planking or other expensive metal
parts from having an excess of zinc.
When installing zinc plates, there are
two routes available. One is to install many
different zincs on all metal parts and thus
run the risk of wood burning. Another
route, is to use one large zinc on the tran -
som of the boat and then connect this zinc
to every underwater metal part through
internal bonding. Of the two choices, the
one zinc on the transom is the better way to
go-
Small outboard engines have a zinc plate
attached to the cavitation plate. Therefore,
the zinc remains with the engine at all
times.
1 - 4 PROPELLERS
As you know, the propeller is actually
what moves the boat through the water.
This is how it is done. The propeller oper -
ates in water in much the manner as a wood
screw does in wood. The propeller " bites "
into the water as it rotates. Water passes
between the blades and out to the rear in
the shape of a cone. The propeller " biting "
through the water in much the same manner
as a wood auger is what propels the boat.

PROPELLERS 1 - 3
Arrangement of propeller and associated parts, in
order, for a small horsepower engine.
Diameter and Pitch
Only two dimensions of the propeller are
of real interest to the boat owner: the
diameter and the pitch. These two dimen -
sions are stamped on the propeller hub and
always appear in the same order: the diam -
eter first and then the pitch. For instance,
the number 15 - 19 stamped on the hub,
would mean the propeller had a diameter of
15 inches with a pitch of 19.
The diameter is the measured distance
from the tip of one blade to the tip of the
other as shown in the accompanying illus -
tration.
The pitch of a propeller is the angle at
which the blades are attached to the hub.
This figure is expressed in inches of water
travel for each revolution of the propeller.
In our example of a 15 - 19 propeller, the
propeller should travel 19 inches through the
water each time it revolves. If the propel -
ler action was perfect and there was no
slippage, then the pitch multiplied by the
propeller rpms would be the boat speed.
Most outboard manufacturers equip their
units with a standard propeller with a diam -
eter and pitch they consider to be best
suited to the engine and the boat. Such a
propeller allows the engine to run as near to
the rated rpm and horsepower (at full throt -
tle) as possible for the boat design.
The blade area of the propeller deter -
mines its load - carrying capacity. A two-
blade propeller is used for high - speed run -
ning under very light loads.
Shear - pin installed behind the propeller instead of in
front of the propeller.
A four - blade propeller is installed in
boats intended to operate at low speeds
under very heavy loads such as tugs, barges,
or large houseboats. The three - blade pro -
peller is the happy medium covering the
wide range between the high performdnce
units and the load carrying work horses.
Propeller Selection
There is no standard propeller that will
do the proper job in very many cases. The
list of sizes and weights of boats is almost
endless. This fact coupled with the many
boat - engine combinations makes the propel -
ler selection for a specific purpose a diffi -
cult job. In fact, in many cases the propel -
ler is changed after a few test runs. Proper
selection is aided through the use of charts
set up for various engines and boats. These
charts should be studied and understood
when buying a propeller. However, bear in
mind, the charts are based on average boats
