I am having my impeller serviced on Monday for my 2005 270. I have not had a chance to put Bravo 3 props back on, and was wondering can it be started on trailer without them? Thanks

    Won't hurt a thing.  Make sure you grease the shafts when you do install them... It's easy to forget that.

    Yes, and do what 212 says, be sure to grease the shafts before the props are put back on. I take my props off every fall before storage. I have them in my garage. Some things tend to grow legs at boat yards. Props are one of them.

    @Cableguy Greg thanks for reminding me, I've been looking at picking up a McGard prop lock. Had them on all my previous outboards that stayed on trailers, but probably a good idea even with the boat in the water, given the cost of B3 props.
