Installing a new prop?

[RMUDBUGS]

Well I put the new prop on. Very easy job, it only took a few minutes. The prop puller works wonders. Thanks everyone for your help. I will be on the water Sunday to try this new 13 X 11 out.

Yeah, Next Time You Put The New One On, Grease It Before You Put It On. That Way It Wont Stick As Bad Getting It Off Next Time If You Have To

X2.

Although I do not think this is such a problem with the splined shafts on the newer models.

i had to get a torch to heat my old one off...without heat my prop wouldnt even budge!! i heated it up and tapped it with hammer and it fell off into my hands


but then....

i got on here and bought a prop puller and it was easy as cake. i wish i had known about this board before then!

Jay,
Did you have trouble getting the prop off your '91? I put anti-seize on the shaft before I installed it last.

Heat gun worked wonders! Heated the hub up for a couple of minutes, gave the prop puller a tug and off it came. Then used the heat gun some more to loosen some chain-link fence fittings that had siezed up... Think it might be time to buy one of my own soon.

Did you check the contact area like Bigmac and I mentioned early on in this thread?

Prussian Blue aka Permatex 230-80038 No.35

Seems to be the ticket for checking surface contact area....
