Re: 71 evinrude

Is the prop nut tight? or are you leaving the nut loose in order to fit the cotter key in the hole? Is the play in the prop or the prop shaft? Does the prop shaft have two holes drilled in it or just one? Is the prop correct for the motor? The prop nut should be tight holding the prop on. Now, if the prop nut holes dont line up with the prop shaft holes while tight, then you either have a wrong prop or a wrong prop nut. I found this out the hard way by spinning prop off into the drink. I left the prop nut loose to accomidate the cotter key holes. A $140.00 mistake. Shim the prop if you have to, but I wouldnt leave the prop loose.
