If your outboard motor propeller becomes fouled by fishing net or seaweed in a bay, what SAFETY step must be executed before clearing the prop by hand?

1. Keep the engine running at idle speed to cut through the line with the prop blades
2. Shift into neutral, shut off the engine, disconnect the safety kill switch lanyard, and ensure the engine cannot accidentally start before touching the propeller
3. Pour boiling water over the gearcase while in gear
4. Tow the boat at 20 knots to tear the net free
