loads that vary widely, select the propeller
that lets the engine run in the proper range for
your maximum load but remember that you
may need to reduce your throttle setting to
stay within the recommended engine speed
range when carrying lighter loads.
Yamaha recommends to use a propeller suit-
able for the "Shift Dampener System (SDS)".
For further information, consult your Yamaha
dealer.
To check the propeller, see page 83.
