Re: Prop Nut Torque Specification '89 Johnson 50

Well, turns out I have a '98 Johnson 50 two stroke, two cylinder with a smaller gearcase. It takes a 12 1/4" diameter by 15" pitch prop. The OEM specification for torque on the prop nut is 120 lbs. My prop was slipping bad because I think the mechanic put the thrust washer on backward and the prop nut wound up finger tight. Works good now.
