I need to have my prop worked on (hit a stone). Any suggestions on how to remove it from the shaft? I don't have a puller. ------------- Corvette Pete |

1- get a puller 2- you got a marina or a repair shop near you? They probably have one and will let you use it for a few bucks. you could try getting a block of wood behind it and tapping it with a hammer (repeat- TAP), but you're asking for problems if you miss. Either way, after you loosen the nut, leave it on the end of the shaft, that will keep the prop from hitting the sidewalk when you get it loose. They don't bounce well. ------------- bring the ruckus http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5347" rel="nofollow - 2000 Pro Air |

A puller is a great investment. ------------- |

Thanks. I'll see I can borrow a puller. Can someone explain to me about "lapping" and if I need to do this if I'm putting the same prop back on? ------------- Corvette Pete |

Lapping is easy. You should do it. Steve |

That looks easy enough, but is it necessary if putting the same prop on the same shaft? ------------- Corvette Pete |

Peter, it really doesn't take long to do. It's easy. If it's never been done on your boat it's good peace of mind knowing you did it right. If you bought the boat and never changed props how do you know if it was properly seated right on the shaft in the first place? It's one of the easier things I've done in my adventures this year.

Plus a good prop shop sometimes run a reamer down the prop changing what you had. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Exactly! The reamer used may not match the shaft taper! Lap it on. Yes, get a prop puller. ------------- /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 < |
