Does anyone have any idea?? I've heard tighten by hand until snug,50,55 and60 ft/lbs. When I removed the prop to get repaired, the nut was very loose. The only thing keeping the propnut on was the cotter pin!!

Just tighten that nut until it stops, then back it off to the first available cotter pin hole.
