Re: Prop and cotter pin
Yes, we have tightened this quite a bit and I was wondering if this was correct We went as far as we could until it was very tight and the 3 tabs would line up. Could it be we have tightened it too much?
So, should I release it a bit and make sure the nut sits perfectly against the sides? And I really need only one of those pins to line up or do I need 3?
I bought the new prop and the Mercury Quicksilver Flo-Torq II Hub Kit

Or is it possible that I have the lock washer too big for the size of the nut (Do they come in different sizes?) - but that wouldn't make sense, it was all a part of the hub kit.
Texmark - what does "10-4" mean in your post? And, I just use a wrench - how do I know I get up to 50 ft-lbs?
