 PD prop questionIs the prop nut suppossed to be against the prop or should there be a gap? There is about a quarter inch gap between the prop and prop nut on my 36PD.

Re: PD prop question Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, the motor is new with only 55hrs on it. How tight should I put the nut against the prop? Should I just put it up against the prop or do I need to put it pretty tight against the prop?

Re: PD prop question da prop cannot back off..... da nut serves more as a thread protector than anything else. u can snug it up against da prop if u wish...... or u can leave it just like it is. it don't matter.

Re: PD prop question I can tell everyone reading this to never, NEVER, ever, EVER put the bushing seated in the prop and screw it on. Talk about a major cluster. Be sure and slide the bushing up the prop shaft and then screw the prop on until it meets the bushing. Otherwise, you will need a tow eventually when the prop seizes against the lower unit. DON'T ASK!
