I have several trips on this carbon prop and, other than the

The past few trips have be at low tide so it has smacked the bottom a

I still want to get my SS back on.

A new question. Has anyone seen a mercury sized prop nut with the
Yamaha threads?
I really want to get rid of that stupid cotter pin and use the Merc
tab washer. I am using the washer anyway but the nut is too small to
engage the recess.

You can buy tab washers in different sizes.

Good idea, maybe I was just going the wrong way.
