Most are tighten till nut just gets snugged up then turn to the next slot where you can install cotter pin. You may have to raise the motor up on transom one notch to get the best performance from that stainless prop.

I could use that in a 25p
On a serious not I could be wrong but I dont think that style had a cotter pin. I think you tighten it up real good and snug then there should be a flat washer type thing that has tabs that fold up against the nut to keep it from backing off. May be wrong but I think Im correct on this?

Tighten it as tight as you can, and the cotter pin holes line up, or you can bend down the lock tabs on the Merc.

thanks everyone, yes it has tabs, not cotter key... very observant on the snoopy action. that is actually a reflection from a birthday card.
