Thread: Prop Install Problem, maybe or maybe not

Are you sure the play is between the prop and the shaft or is it play on the inside of the gear housing. If the locknut is torged then how can you have play between the prop and the shaft??? All prop shafts have some play and if this is what you are seeing then you are ok.

ExactlyThumbs Up The play you feel is not the prop sliding on the shaft. It is the shaft itself moving. Everything sounds normal to me.
