Unsure how this happened, anyways noticed alot of vibration coming from the lower prop area today while hunting, eased over to a bank to further inspect and it seems my prop came loose between the nuts the prop is threaded. If this makes no sense tell me i'll snap a pic when I get home. |

Remove the whole thing, APPLY ANTI SEIZE LIBERALLY and sandwich prop between nuts shown in picture. I put front nut on, then prop (I give mine a couple wacks with piece of 2x4 to tighten against front nut) then add the back two nuts. Mine never comes loose. DON'T FORGET ANTI SEIZE! |

It is supposed to have about 1/2 turn slack Your vibe is probably due to your lower bushing worn and or needing grease |

Seems odd that this would happen guess it worked itself loose? So, I can tighten the prop up against the upper nut (hand tighten? top pic) then apply some never seez and the reinstall the nut, lock washer, locknut. Should I hand tighten the the first nut up to the prop then, torque the lock nut to it? Sorry this is such a grammatical shit storm its hell typing from a phone. |

Leave enough slack in the prop so it can turn about a half turn. |

I snug my prop after applying nickel based anti-seize. Then, tighten last two nuts. Never have a problem getting them off. I've had the shaft threads get worn, from letting the prop float, causing vibration. |

I just bought a new 16 from go devil. Had to bring it back because it had too much cup. Couldnt get the RPM's above 2900. When I brought it to the back i watched them remove and install it. He tughtened the prop hand tiight and snugged the the two nuts with a lg crescent wrench. No torque wrench Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
