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.
Yup and them after you run it, check and make sure you can't get it one slot tighter. Never want it loose.Quote:

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.
Glad you got your new prop! And glad I was able to help you windstone!
thanks, sho helped me out. best price i could find anywhere....Quote:

I think wilbur is about right....its tight but not real tight.
yeah they aint that tight
I have an old 45 merc that has that key that locks the nut in place.
