the F60. With this increase, the coupling length of the forward gear has been extended as well. In
addition, two grooves are provided on the forward gear for identification purposes.

Propeller
The propeller of the F60 has been newly designed (69W series). The strength of the propeller
blades and the slipping resistance of the damper have been increased. The 11-, 13-, and 15-inch
propellers of the currently used 663 series will be gradually replaced by the 69W series.
