I picked up what's supposed to be a 6G5-45978-02-98 SS Yamaha prop, for my '06 F150. I was told it would fit the motor, and was just an earlier version of the current 6G5-45978-03-98 prop.
I tried to put it on today, and the flange in the front of the propeller appears to be different than that of the SOLAS aluminum prop that came with the boat. The new prop does not have a beveled flange like the SOLAS prop.
Here's a photo, with the new one on the right (obviously!):

The new one clearly isn't right as is, as when placed on the shaft it rubs against the housing in front of it.
Should this prop work on an '06 F150?
Is it missing some accessory flange to go between it and the beveled front face of the shaft?
Any help would be much appreciated!
