Post gd prop
New to the longtail game. Just got a 16 hp gdlt, the prop has some slack on the shaft when u turn it to the left. Was wondering if theres suppose to be slack or if the jam nut on the bottom needs to be tightened up? Don't wanna cause any damage. any help and advise would be great.

The prop it supposed to free float on the shaft but after a few good trips it'll tighten up. The manual says you should knock it back free after each trip but no one ever does.

Wouldn't hurt to put some anti-seize on it while it's still free. You will thank me later!
