Bent prop

Post by BobHaze »

I think I bent a blade on my prop the other day, powering off a sand bar I thought would be a piece of cake. I'm going to dive it tomorrow to assess the damage, but wanted to ask the group first: is the prop pressed on so you need a puller to get it off, or just held on by the nut on the shaft?

Just held on with a nut but the shaft is tapered so you will still likely need a pulled to get it off (did for mine). I would have the shaft checked as well!

You'll need a puller. If it comes off without one then it was not on correctly.
