You need a new prop, or a new hub assembly? New alum props are not bad, but if it wobbles when it spins, might be something more serious. Friend of mine had similar issue on a big motor hub, and H20 fixed it fine..........wasn't cheap though.

Is there splines in it Chris? I will look at mine Tuesday for ya. Gotta work till en

Yes, for where it slips over the prop shaft.

One and the same on this rig. There isn't a sheer pin on this set up. Instead, the hub/bushing is pressed into the prop. So when it takes a hard impact, or a series of impacts, like say hitting a thousand stumps in a day's time, the hub/bushing spins inside the prop housing, instead of trashing the lower unit. So to answer your question, I guess I need a new hub assembly.

Hope it is different guy than one used to run it down on Little Maumelle. Took a Stainless steel down there years ago and ground blades down so thin it ruined mine.
