I have a new to me Volvo Penta 5.7GSi with a DP Sterndrive. The nut on the forward prop will not move. The rear prop and nut came right off no issues. I just want to validate that it is not a reverse thread on that nut before I force it. I also think they may have put the nut on backwards. Looking at new nuts on line it looks like there is a beveled edge on the forward prop nut. It looks like that should be facing out (towards the Rear propeller). I see that the nut is also slightly out of round. I am thinking the previous owner may have usd a hammer and some sort of drive to try to loosen it and slightly dented the nut. Anyone familiar with this DuoProp please help me out. Thanks in advance!
