Installation Guide
- Ensure the engine is off and the propeller is not engaged. Disconnect the battery for safety.
- Place the two halves of the propeller guard around the gearcase, just behind the propeller.
- Align the guard so it is centered and provides at least 1" of clearance between the guard and the propeller tips on all sides.
-
Important: Before drilling, double-check all clearances to ensure the guard will not interfere with the propeller's rotation or the engine's trim/tilt movement.
- Once aligned, use the pre-drilled holes on the guard as a template to mark drilling locations on the gearcase's cavitation plate.
- Drill the mounting holes into the cavitation plate using an appropriately sized drill bit.
- Secure the guard halves together and to the gearcase using the included bolts, nuts, and washers.
- Tighten all hardware securely. Re-check clearances once more before reconnecting the battery.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: Will this guard fit my Evinrude E-Tec or Bigfoot motor?
A: No, this 14" guard is not recommended for Evinrude E-Tec, Bigfoot, or High Thrust models. You should use the larger 16" guard for those applications to ensure proper clearance and safety.
Q: Is there a speed limit when using this propeller guard?
A: Yes. This guard is not recommended or warranted for speeds over 25 mph. High speeds can cause unpredictable handling or damage to the guard.
Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?
A: This guard fits most outboard motors from 70hp to 140hp with a "Class D" gearcase. The most critical check is ensuring your propeller diameter is 13 inches or less. Always measure your propeller and check clearances before drilling and mounting.
