my orig. prop., after 10yrs of never being removed, was removed, shaft splines coated with anti seeze grease and replaced. After about five hours of service it started to spin on the hub at about 1500rpm. Under 1500 rpm no slippage. When I re-installed the prop. I tightened the castle nut to the first slot that lined with the cotter hole( basically finger tight) in the shaft and installed the cotter pin. Is this correct procedure or should I have gone to the next slot which would be about 20psi of torque pressure.
Thinking the prop. was bad, I did put on a new prop. and no problems.
thanks for any advise...
