I tightened my prop nut on my yamaha the other day and put a new cotter pin in it. I ran the engine and when I pulled it out of the water the prop nut was loose. Is this hub spun?

hello<br /> could be. how tight was tight and how loose is loose. the torque is about 25 ft lbs up to 55-60.<br /> if it was not saeted all the way it will do that as well. are you using factory props and hardware or aftermarket stuff?<br /> good luck and keep posting
