   (prop is still on a 1976 boat

I hit a rock this weekend in my '76 Southwind and had to change the prop.  I called around and found a 3 jaw puller from O'reilly's Auto parts.  Auto Zone had two different types but they weren't big enough.  The one that worked took a LOT of torque to get it to  pop off.  I though I was going to bust a gut in 100 degree heat in the parking lot of O'relly's but it finally busted loose.  These tools are "loaner" tools here in my parts...

	Matt, Here's a homemade puller for $10 that I made up. There is also a thread on pullers that you may find interesting. The search feature here on the site is a fantastic tool to find tons of info. Good luck on your search. Some people also use a 3 or 4 arm (for a 3 or 4 blade prop) gear puller.

	I tried to make a propeller puller when I found out that new ones are hundreds of dollars. It didn't work too well (prop is still on a 1976 boat). Any suggestions for propeller pullers (a pro pull sold for $99.00 on ebay). What do you use to pull your propellers off?
