Thanks. I don’t have any prop shops locally so perhaps I may look at purchasing another one and sending this one in at the end of the season.
clkelley78 - are you sure you can do this yourself on an OEM Honda prop? As johnny said, I thought you needed a press to get the hub in and out, and the prop surface where the hub mounts need to be cleaned completely.
Mark - almost every marine shop has a relationship with a machine shop that rebuilds props and will usually handle shipping and return for you. The last one I had done cost me about $120, but it took two weeks to get it back. It is ALWAYS a good idea to carry a spare prop, thrust washer, flat washer, castle nut, and several SS cotter pins on your boat. Over the years, I've had to change out props in open water several times. It's not easy, but doable.
