Hi all. I'm new here so still learning the ropes.
I own a 1970's 18ft Stejcraft half cabin powered by a B20 AQ130D via a single prop 280 outdrive. The prop desperately needs replacing along with the prop anode. I have attempted several times to twist and unbolt this prop without any success to date. The prop in question does not have a centre bolt however has a prop cone with a hole through it. Behind the prop cone and In front of the prop is the tab washer. I am assuming that the tab washer needs to have all tabs depressed and disengaged from the back of the prop cone in order to spin off the prop cone? Also, how do I tell if it is LH or RH thread? This may be basic info for some but this problem has me baffled at present. Appreciate any assistance from your collective knowledge.
