Jun 28, 2023 · This must be the later style washer, only has two tabs. They have to be bent back flat to get the wrench or socket on the nut. I don't bend them all the way up against the sides of the nut, but leave enough of a gap to get a screwdriver in there for removal. I don't want to run the risk of a tab failing if I need to swap props in the water.

Nov 24, 2017 · The should be a washer that fits on the rear of the prop directly in front of the dive pin, The washer is required, in the event of a spun hub, it prevent the prop from sliding back and jamming the drive pin to where it can't be removed easily.

May 13, 2007 · rparge, with prop wobble at the front, there is nothing to force the hub to center on the thrust washer, hence propshaft. The pic you showed this time is just the locking ring for the prop nut lock tabs to lock into.
