STEPS
TOOLS
Broke 2 of my prop blades and the skeg
Use a block, to stop the prop from turning, then loosen the bolt
The dimensions for your prop will be stamped here. I have a 14.5 19 which means the diameter is 14.5 inches with a 19 degree pitch
This is the new prop and hub kit I'll be replacing it with
When choosing a prop kit, make sure you match the teeth count. Mine is 15
Clean and grease
Install with the tapered end down
Then the adapter
Prop
Adapter
Locking washer, aligned with the groove
Then the nut
Make sure you check for clearance once you've tightened it down
Once you know the clearance is ok, bend the ends of the lock washer up to the sides of the nut
I'm also installing a Skeg guard. Just tap this on with a rubber mallet
Check for clearance
Then drill the 2 holes with a 1/4" bit. I used a cobalt bit and it went through the aluminum like butter
Use the loc tite and hardware provided with the kit
Apply to both sides
Then screw them in
Check the clearance again and you're all good
