How easily should the prop spin on my '75 ski nautique by hand? It takes some effort to spin mine and it will not continue to spin after I stop spinning it. And yes, my tranny is in neutral. Is this normal or should it be easy to spin? ------------- Stu 1982 BareFoot Nautique PCM 454 *Under Repair* http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=8077&sort=&pagenum=2" rel="nofollow - '82 BFN |

It should spin easily with 1 finger. Sounds like you need to do an alignment. ------------- |

Should my '97 SN also turn with one finger?

Which finger should I use to obtain the optimum spin?
Is there a difference between a one, two or three finger spin? |

Shawn, Yes, no matter what finger the DR. wants to use, it's the same. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

should the prop continue to spin after you take your hand off it? ------------- Stu 1982 BareFoot Nautique PCM 454 *Under Repair* http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=8077&sort=&pagenum=2" rel="nofollow - '82 BFN |

Stu, No, not much. Even with some soap/water lubricating the cutlass bearing, there's always some drag. Also, you get drag from a properly adjusted packing gland. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
