Filling/ Adding Oil to Engine(s):

Place the drain/ ﬁll hose into a container of new oil. Open

the valve on the manifold which connects to the engine to be

serviced. Switch the pump to draw oil from the new oil con-

tainer. (Push the switch toward the manifold) NOTE: Operate

pump with only one valve open at a time. Be sure that a valve

is open prior to pump operation. Be sure to close all valves

when oil change is completed. (Handle pointed down - valve

open) (Handle pointed to the side - valve closed)

Refer to the oil change system owner’s manual for speciﬁc

information on the system installed in you boat. It is important

that you completely understand the operation of the pump and

valves before using the system.

1.6 Propellers

When the boats are shipped, the propellers are factory installed.

Should it be necessary to change propellers, always use an ap-

propriate removal tool or “Prop Puller.” Do not attempt removal

using a hammer. Damage to the propeller, propeller shaft, or

transmission can result.

A few simple steps will enable you to install a propeller. First,

make sure that no burrs or rough edges exist on the shaft, key,

and both keyways. Try the key into the keyways. It must

slide freely into position without having side play. It might

be necessary to ﬁle the key with a ﬂat ﬁle to create the correct

tolerance.

To ensure the proper ﬁt of your propeller, follow these pro

cedures:

Step 1: Without the key installed, slip the propeller on the

shaft by hand as far as it will go. Mark the location

at the front of the hub with a dry-marker and remove

the propeller.

Step 2: Install the key in the shaft.

Step 3: Again, slide the propeller into position by hand.

Please note that the key should not extend beyond

the forward edge of the propeller hub. The propel

ler should reach the same spot as before. If it does

not, the key has probably moved up the keyway, or

the key does not ﬁt properly in one or both of the

keyways.

Step 4: Install the propeller nuts. When installing the shaft

nuts, take care not to tighten them too much. Do not

force the nut into a tighter position by using a ham

mer or extension on the arm of the wrench. Tighten

the thin nut, then lock the wide nut tight against the

thin nut and insert the cotter pin.

If not properly installed, the propeller will be off balance and

this is a frequent cause of vibration. It could also cause the

propeller hub to split.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE BOAT IF THE

PROPELLER DOES NOT FIT PROPERLY ON THE

SHAFT. PROBLEMS SUCH AS SHAFT VIBRATION,

PROPELLER HUB FAILURE OR SHAFT FAILURE

MAY OCCUR.

Your boat was shipped with propellers that typically provide

optimum performance for your boat. However there are fac-

tors that can affect performance and propeller requirements.

Some are as follows:

• It is extremely important that the boat is propped to run at

or very near the recommended top RPM with an average

load. If the top RPM is above or below the recommend

range, the propellers must be changed to prevent loss of

performance and possible engine damage.

• Large diesel engines can be damaged and the warranty

void if the boat is not propped correctly. Always consult

your Albemarle or authorized engine service dealer when

making changes to the propellers or if the boat does not

run near the top recommended RPM.

• The addition of a Marlin or Tuna tower, heavy equipment

like life rafts, personal water craft, additional coolers,

etc., can will cause additional load on the engines.

Consequently, different propellers will be required.
