14HP mudbuddy. Decided to replace this crappy prop. Barely pushes me unless I trim all the way and can barely get 10mph with a 1648 alumacraft not loaded. Prop measures 9.5inches. Supposed to be 10. And it's all around sharp and jagged. I got the nut off but now the devil of a prop is stuck. It's a threaded shaft Searched all over trying to find answers got some vague answers. Can anyone be specific or give me an idea. |

Piece of flatbar with a hole in one end that slips over the shaft. Needs to be 3ft or so for leverage. Use that to break it loose. |

If you have a short piece of 2x4 handy you can drill a hole in one end and probably make that work also |

I'll add that when trying to turn prop. The whole shaft spins with prop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You may have to take the outdrive off and hold it from the other end somehow. I'm not completely sure as I have a hex shaft. Google search mud buddy threaded shaft prop removal. I'm sure there has been a thread on this before. Go ahead and put the penetrating fluid to it now. |

Chances are you're going to need to get the outdrive off. Find a way maybe to secure the pulley enough to break the prop. If you use heat you'll probably have to replace seals then. |

What you gotta do is hold your prop wrench on the prop. Have a buddy crank the motor as you hold the prop wrench and the power of the motor will spin that sucker right off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Is the prop supposed to be right up on the bearing/bushing housing cap like that? Looks like its jammed on the cap to me. That'll slow you down. |

Found shallow water to. Motor doesn't do me no good at all as it sits right now. Trying to go through less than a foot of water it bogs down then bites and pushes forward and then looses bite. And repeats. And repeats.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My 2.5 cents! Back in the day when I ran a GDLT had the same problem. Worked at for 2-3 hours, finally after totally giving up, I start the engine and rev it up and down for about 3 minutes then damnit if it didn't spin right off when I killed it! Might be worth the try? |

With the board or flat bar in place, smack it with a maul or heavy hammer real hard. Try to work it like an impact wrench. |

Just cut it with a cutting wheel and stop just short of the threads, then drive a cold chisel in the cut. Will come right off after that. |
