Is there such an animal?? I know Bblades propellers does this for their Longtail props to make changing them easier. I know 9 chances out of 10 I'll end up back with a factory GD prop, but I'd like to try some others down the road... Who knows... http://bblades.com/shop/bblades/leading ... propeller/ |

Thats a really good idea. If someone had an old useless hex prop, I bet I could have the adapter made for next to nothing... |

If you could get your hands on a burnt up threaded prop and a good hex prop you'd be in business... |

If I'm not mistaken....just shooting from the hip without measuring anything...this would be an awesome idea...cept, I think the threaded PD shaft is 7/8" thread and the hex is a 3/4" hex on the MB and GT hex shafts.....I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

10-4... The GD shaft is 7/8 too. Someone needs to measure the ID of the GT/MB hex. Or the OD of their shaft (the one on their boat motor) if they have a prop off by chance. |

Or they can just start cutting the hex prop hubs and threading 7/8-9. I have hill props and a threaded shaft. Never put on a hexed shaft tho. |

I've seen those props that are threaded inside a hex cutout and I can't say I trust them... Doesn't look like there's much material there to thread into. I can just imagine hitting something and either stripping the threads on the shaft or inside the prop one. Just doesn't look like a solid enough contact area for the threads to take that much stress. |

I've nailed stumps and haven't had an issue. I like the adapter idea better. Hill sucks. Took him 3 times to get me the prop I originally asked for correct. It's been a dang good prop tho |

I'm going to pull the bearing rings and races off my old shaft and see how the gear is attached. If it's just pressed in with a keyway, I'm about to go outside the box! I'm sick of dealing with these threaded props! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've got a shaft sitting on my workbench now with gears and bearings attached. If y'all need any pics or measurements, let me know. |

How is the gear and bearing held in place? And yes pics would be great! |

It seems like there has to be a key way in it but I don't see it right off. Looks like it's just pressed on but that wouldn't make sense. I'll give it a going over tomorrow and take some pics. I'd really like to get another shaft made and keep the bearings, gear, and sleeves that I have now that aren't hurt. |

I would have thought the gear rod on splines with a retainer... |
