Just upgraded to 2006 Chaparral 246SSI. I wasn't happy with the hole-shot performance and the aluminum 3 blade was in really rough shape so I bought a Titan HR4 SS with fixed hub. Drove over to sand bar and tried to do swap in 3-4 feet of water. The prop is under a swim deck and completely under water (just barely) so that made all this even more difficult especially timing everything while being hit by wakes! (I have no way to pull it out right now)
Anyways, I bought a new thrust washer, spacer, lock washer and nut in case we dropped anything and couldn't find it. The new prop is "longer" then the old one (removable hub) and I cant get the lock washer to reach the splines. The hardware I bought is the same as the stuff I pulled. Common sense says I need a thinner thrust washer? I know Solas sells kits but they are closed until Monday and I'm dying to try these beauty out!
Any advice? Am I missing something that I cant see underwater? Thanks!
