I recently purchased the old style Hustler prop and hub kit from iBoats. I sent the following email to both iBoats and Turning Point, but would like input from readers, here as well. Thanks.<br /><br /><br />______________________________________<br />Dear Sirs:<br /> <br />I received the below items this last week. I examined them this weekend and did a test fit to my Nissan 40C outboard. I have a couple of questions:<br /> <br />1) The advertisement on the iBoat website for the specific prop I bought, mentions having ventalation holes. I could not find any on this prop. I was expecting to find a total of three small holes, one near the front edge of each blade. Do I have a manufacturing defect? or has it been determined that none are provided for this engine? I was expecting to get a better hole shot from having them. <br /> <br />2) When I test fitted the prop, the thick thrust washer slides on the splines, and when it gets all the way to the beveled part of the shaft, it is able to spin on the shaft. Is that correct? The OEM thrust washer is larger (thicker) and still engages the splines, such that it can't spin on the shaft. I doesn't seem right to me that it spins.<br /> <br />Thanks, and I look forward to receiving any input you can provide.
