robbdrell	posted 08-13-2005 05:55 PM ET (US)         really feel stupid. i took off my prop to inspect it. now i can't get it back on. it won't seat into the housing. it appears as though the shaft is too far out now b/c at the base it's shinny like it was inside the housing spinning. is it possible i backed out the shaft when i unscrewwd the nut (the one with the cotter pin) that holds the shaft on. also is there a wedsite etc where i can see a schematic of the prop assembly? thanks Robb

Did your prop have a thrust washer that should go on the shaft before the prop? If so the ID of the washer is tapered and you may be putting in on backwards. what is the indication that the prop is not going onto the shaft far enough?
