Installing the Propeller

The Force® Current trolling motor is packaged with a weedless propeller and a high-efficiency propeller. The weedless propeller is designed to help prevent weeds from wrapping around the propeller and the shaft.

NOTICE

You should use the Force Current trolling motor with the high-efficiency propeller only in open-water conditions. When using the high-efficiency propeller in shallow water conditions, there is an increased risk of damaging the propeller if the motor collides with an underwater obstacle.

  1. Insert the pin 1 through the propeller motor shaft.

  2. If necessary, rotate the motor shaft to orient the pin horizontally so it is less likely to fall out during installation.
  3. Align the channel on the inside of the propeller with the pin, and slide the propeller onto the motor shaft.
  4. Place the anode 2, washer 3, lock washer 4, and nut 5 onto the end of the motor shaft.
  5. Using a 9/16 in. (14 mm) socket, tighten the lock nut to 16.27 N-m (12 lbf-ft.) to secure the propeller.
