My Calibrated Elbow says about 50ft.lbs.......<br /><br />As long as it's Good,+ Snug....... And the Locks are bent over,.. You'll be Fine........<br /><br />Forward Thrust pushes the Prop On To the Shaft........<br /><br />The Prop Nut is only Working in Reverse.........<br /><br />Make SURE You Grease everything up Real Good........ It'll come off Easier,.. Later.......

Ya can't just buy em, they have to be calibrated with years of practice.
