I just purchased a 1971 Evinrude Mate 2 hp with a broken prop. I removed the cotter pin but cannot budge the old prop. What is the secret to removing the old prop?

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,... If it's corroded, to the propshaft, it may not be comin' off,...

Ya might have to decide What get's destroyed in the removal process...

The prop, or the shaft...

I had to use an angle grinder to cut it off the shaft. Thankfully, the new prop is polycarbonite and goes directly on the prop shaft. Thanks for your help.
