SwampDonkey1, I was smiling when I read your post, since I have done this a few times myself. Many years ago I realized that to make this easier, I took the prop off at least a couple of times a season, and always cleaned the threads and applied anti-seize grease/compound. Even when doing this the prop was never too easy to remove so I did what you just described. I do urge caution and make sure no one or nothing is behind the prop since if you are not quick it will spin off and wreak havoc!! I realize that many here run in brackish water and that will definitely make it bind more if you don't take off the prop now and then. In those situations, this method won't work and the torch/cheater bar/huff and puff process is indicated. Keep it clean!
