A damaged propeller doesn't always mean an expensive repair or a trip to the service centre. With the right tools and a careful approach, we can replace the propeller on a Remigo One or Remigo One Neo electric outboard by following a few clear steps.
The two models use slightly different propellers, but according to the video guide, the replacement process is the same. The key is to remove the retaining parts carefully, inspect the shear pin and anode, and reinstall everything in the correct order.
What Tools Do You Need?
We should prepare the tools before removing anything. For this procedure, you'll need:
-
A standard 17 mm socket for the shaft anode
-
A deep 17 mm socket for the nylon lock nut
-
A stable motor stand or workbench
-
The correct replacement propeller for your Remigo model
Keep the motor secure throughout the process. Having everything ready makes the job easier and reduces the chance of losing small parts.
Step 1: Make the Motor Safe
Always remove the magnetic kill switch before working on the propeller. This helps prevent accidental motor activation while your hands are near the moving parts.
Next, secure the tiller so the motor stays stationary on the stand or workbench. Make sure the motor cannot shift while you're removing the propeller.
Step 2: Remove the Shaft Anode and Lock Nut
Start by removing the shaft Remigo one anode with a standard 17 mm socket. Set it aside carefully so you can reinstall it later.
Next, use a deep 17 mm socket to remove the nylon lock nut. Keep the washers in order as you remove them, since they need to go back onto the shaft in the correct sequence.
Step 3: Remove the Old Propeller Carefully
Once the retaining parts are removed, gently push upward on both propeller blades at the same time to release the propeller from the shaft.
Avoid pulling on just one blade. Applying force to one side can put uneven pressure on the propeller and increase the risk of damage.
If the propeller does not come off easily, stop and check that all retaining hardware has been removed rather than forcing it.
Step 4: Inspect the Shear Pin and Anode
With the propeller removed, take a moment to inspect the parts around the shaft.
Check the following:
-
Remigo One Propeller Shear Pin: Look for signs of corrosion, bending or wear.
-
Housing anode: Check its condition and look for corrosion.
-
Propeller area: Make sure there is no visible damage or debris.
This inspection matters. Replacing the propeller without checking the related components could mean missing a problem that affects the motor's operation.
Step 5: Install the Replacement Propeller
Before sliding the new propeller onto the shaft, check the alignment of the shear pin.
The shear pin should sit perpendicular to the motor to help the replacement propeller slide into place smoothly.
Once the propeller is fitted, reinstall the washers in the correct order:
-
Large washer first.
-
Small washer next.
-
Nylon lock nut to secure the assembly.
Use the deep 17 mm socket to tighten the lock nut. Avoid over-tightening it; follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct fit.
Finally, reattach the shaft anode and check that all components are properly secured before using the motor.
Remigo One vs Remigo One Neo: Does the Process Change?
The basic replacement procedure is the same for both models, but you must use the propeller designed for your specific motor.
| Feature | Remigo One | Remigo One Neo |
| Propeller replacement | Same general procedure | Same general procedure |
| Propeller type | Model-specific | Model-specific |
| Kill switch removal | Required before maintenance | Required before maintenance |
| Shear pin inspection | Recommended during replacement | Recommended during replacement |
| Correct parts | Confirm compatibility | Confirm compatibility |
Don't choose a replacement propeller based on appearance alone. Confirm the model and part specification before ordering.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A little care during maintenance can prevent unnecessary damage. Keep these points in mind:
-
Leaving the kill switch connected: Always disconnect it before starting.
-
Using the wrong socket: Use the specified 17 mm socket and a deep socket for the nylon lock nut.
-
Pulling one blade at a time: Push both blades upward together when removing the propeller.
-
Ignoring the shear pin: Inspect it before installing the replacement.
-
Misplacing the washers: Reinstall the large washer first and the small washer second.
-
Over-tightening the lock nut: Follow the manufacturer's instructions rather than guessing the tightening force.
-
Using an incompatible propeller: Check the exact Remigo model before purchasing replacement parts.
How Can We Keep a Remigo Propeller in Good Condition?
Regular inspection helps us spot damage before it interrupts a trip. Check the propeller after an impact and look for visible cracks, chips, corrosion or fishing line around the shaft.
When replacing the propeller, inspect the shear pin and anode at the same time. If any part looks damaged or you're unsure how it should fit, consult the appropriate Remigo manual or an authorised service provider.
Watch the Remigo Propeller Replacement Video
Before starting, watch the video to see how the propeller is removed and fitted. Following the process visually can help us understand how the components fit together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the propeller on a Remigo One myself?
Yes, the video describes a step-by-step replacement process. You'll need the correct propeller, suitable sockets and a stable work surface. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and seek professional help if a component is damaged or difficult to remove.
Do Remigo One and Remigo One Neo use the same propeller?
No, don't assume the propellers are interchangeable. Check the replacement part's compatibility with your exact model before ordering.
Why should I inspect the shear pin when changing the propeller?
The shear pin is part of the propeller assembly. Checking it during replacement helps identify visible wear or corrosion before the motor goes back into service.
Why should I avoid pulling on just one propeller blade?
Pulling one side can put uneven pressure on the propeller. The video recommends pushing upward on both blades together to remove it more carefully.
Which socket do I need to replace the Remigo propeller?
The procedure uses a standard 17 mm socket for the shaft anode and a deep 17 mm socket for the nylon lock nut.
Final Thoughts
Replacing a Remigo One or Remigo One Neo propeller is easier when we prepare the right tools, secure the motor and follow the correct removal and installation sequence.
Remember the essentials: remove the kill switch, use the correct socket, push both blades together, inspect the shear pin and anode, align the shear pin properly, and reinstall the washers in the right order. Most importantly, confirm that the replacement propeller matches your motor model.
