Remove washer/spacer on back of prop.

[mrbuckaro]

OK,I purchased this used prop off ebay and got a good deal ,($26).for a 1988 125 singel exhaust. On the back side of my trashed prop is a washer that covers the rubber, my new prop does not have one. How do you remove this.? AS usual my Seloc manual let me down. I wanted to buy a new one from iboats but, theyonly have 21p for my motor. You high ranking officers sure do a dood job keeping us dummys afloat.THANK YOU.

Buckaro,<br />That is the thrust washer. It just slides over the prop shaft ahead of the propellor. If it is stuck in your old prop, just pry it off gently with a flat blade screwdriver. It may be a little snug but will come out.<br />You got a great deal on that used prop if it is in good shape.<br />Enjoy'<br />Greg

Also you can get a prop kit that contains the thrust washer,locking tab,cotter pin, and nutfor not much money. Look at that thrust washer to see if it is pitted or scored...should replace with a new one.
