    Prop nut torque

    It’s back together. Anything else I should attend to before I reassemble?

    Prop nut torque

    I should have just asked the shaft rotation. Like I say I don’t get much sleep and the brain doesn’t always put things together right.

    So the fins go to the right?

    Prop nut torque

    Looking at the old impeller the woodruff key stops at the top with a sealing surface on top with the fins going to the right so never mind.

    Prop nut torque

    One last question. I’m in the process of changing the impeller but forgot to take note of the direction of the rubber fins when reinstalling. I thought I took a pic but with my sleep deprivation I must have not. When looking down on the gear box which way do the fins go. Thanks in advance...

    Prop nut torque

    The prop was good before the boat went into storage a few years back. I changed gear lube and checked everything out.

    Lottery pin was there all bright and shiny. Castle nut was loose enough to hear the prop rattling.

    Prop nut torque

    When warming up the engine for oil changes I heard the prop banging around and found the castle nut backed off a turn. That there would have at least caused a little damage. The boat has been in storage for the last few years so I’m guessing someone was pricking off.

    Prop nut torque

    The inch pounds sounded low. I’ve seen as much as 120 ft/lbs + on some. Didn’t want the shaft to stretch going wide open on 70 degree top water and take out the lower unit. Must be a different design than others. I can go to the next hole for the cotter pin and will be plenty tight. Thanks again
