4.Propulsion System

Your boat is equipped with a stern drive type propulsion system also known as an inboard- outboard engine. (See Figure 2.2.2) This type of propulsion system has the engine inside the boat secured to the hull's stringers at the rear end of the hull. The stern drive unit, also called the lower unit because it hangs below the hull, is part of the propulsion system that attaches to the outside of the hull or transom. The stern drive unit pivots to steer the boat.

For engine operating instructions, see page 3.4.

5.Propellers

Your Baja®has been equipped with a propeller which our tests have shown to be the best suited for general use under normal conditions and load.

Under no circumstances use a propeller which allows the engine to operate at higher than the maximum RPM for your engine. (See the Engine Operator's Manual.)
