I just installed a new 3 blade aluminum standard rotation VP 3817468 propeller and in the garage am getting a slight rub on the front of the hub against the inside of my SX lower gearcase housing. The rub is just enough that it may for sure remove some paint and may remove some aluminum from the prop and gearcase housing. I can spin it with a little force while in neutral, but it for sure is rubbing.
It is a different part number than my original prop, but is the correct VP replacement part for this application, according to VP docs and iboats VP store.
Is this common for new props to do this?
Do the new props require a thin spacer in front of the prop?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
